The American company SpaceX has shown the work of a new autonomous floating platform Shortfall of Gravitas, which is designed for landing the stages of Falcon rockets. The corresponding video was published on July 9 on his Twitter account by the founder of the company, Elon Musk.



The platform will be located on the east coast of the United States and will replace the floating station OCISLY. It is planned to be moved to the west of the United States.

No details were given about the features of the new platform under the video. The frames show only the scale of the platform.

On June 30, the Falcon 9 launch vehicle launched into orbit from the Cape Canaveral Cosmodrome in the US state of Florida with 88 satellites on board.

The first reusable stage of the SpaceX launch vehicle made a successful controlled vertical landing at the Cape Canaveral cosmodrome 8 minutes and 34 seconds after launch.

Earlier, on June 22, it became known that Musk's company plans to provide the whole world with wireless Internet by the fall using the Starlink satellite system. SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell clarified that the company planned to deploy 12 thousand satellites, the total cost of which is estimated at about $10 billion.

It was clarified that the US Federal Communications Commission this year gave SpaceX permission to place some Starlink satellites in a lower Earth orbit than planned. This should help provide high-speed Internet to people who currently do not have access to it.
