SpaceX chief Elon Musk has shared a remarkable image that highlights the true scale of SpaceX’s workhorse Falcon 9 rocket. The photo shows a Falcon 9 booster shortly after it landed at Cape Canaveral in Florida at the end of a flight on Wednesday, May 25.
But while some folks may already know that the rocket’s first stage stands at around 50 meters, others will have little idea about what that actually looks like. However, thanks to a couple of engineers standing at the base of the booster, Musk’s photo gives us the clearest idea yet of the rocket’s true size. And seeing it like this makes one marvel yet again at the incredible work that must have gone into developing the landing system for this enormous space vehicle.
The Transporter-5 flight was part of SpaceX’s dedicated smallsat rideshare program and carried 59 small satellites into orbit for a range of customers. This is the fifth such rideshare mission conducted by SpaceX since the first one in June 2020.
