美国太空探索技术公司的“猎鹰”9-1.1型运载火箭2013年12月3日在卡纳维拉尔角空军站发射了卢森堡欧洲卫星公司(SES)的SES-8商业通信卫星。这是“猎鹰”9火箭首次用来发射静地轨道商业通信卫星,标志着太空探索公司正式进入了商业航天发射市场,有可能打破全球商业发射服务业的原有格局,因而备受各发射服务商和卫星运营商的关注。在尚缺少商业发射成功纪录的情况下,该公司已有总额超过10亿美元的商业发射订单储备,其中约一半是要发射静地轨
NASA’s Falcon 9-1.1 launch vehicle launched the SES-8 commercial communications satellite at the European satellite company SES on December 3, 2013 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. This is the first time that the “Falcon” 9 rocket was launched to launch the geostationary orbit commercial communications satellite, marking the official entry of space exploration companies into the commercial space launch market and the possible break with the original pattern of the global commercial launch service industry. All launching service providers and satellite operators are concerned. In the absence of a successful commercial launch record, the company already has a reserve of more than $ 1 billion in commercial launch orders, about half of which is destined to launch geostationary orbit
