On August 6th, SpaceX, a private space company, launched a Falcon 9 rocket at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida, USA. The mission was to launch AMOS-17, an artificial satellite intended to provide satellite communications services to Africa.

As SpaceX is a private company, it is concerned about distributing costs and risks, and is trying to reuse boosters. A nitrogen gas rocket and a control parachute were installed to recover it, but this time it was recovered safely. Related information can be found here .
