[2020-08-30] Falcon 9 Block 5 | SAOCOM 1B

Leggevo in merito alla traiettoria di questo volo.
The unusual trajectory will require the Falcon 9 rocket to first fly south-southeast from Cape Canaveral over the Atlantic Ocean, then bend its course back to the west in a right turn to skirt the coast of South Florida.
Known as a “dogleg” maneuver, the right turn will ensure the rocket’s impact point never crosses Florida in the event of an in-flight failure that causes the vehicle to crash back to Earth. The launcher will then head over the Florida Straits and Cuba before placing the SAOCOM 1B radar satellite into orbit.

In pratica fa così, da quello che ho capito.

Edit: trovato. Il gomito è molto meno gomito di quello che pensavo.
