It lists the cost of a Falcon 9 ride at $62 million but has not yet announced a price for flying on a used rocket.<br\/><br\/>SES SA received a discount for joining the inaugural run, its chief technical officer, Martin Halliwell, told reporters this week, declining to specify the cost.<br\/><br\/><b>To get all the news about space and strategic systems delivered to your inbox every month, be sure to <a class=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/link.defensenews.com\/join\/5ba\/sign-up\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Link: null\">sign up for our Military Space Report newsletter<\/a>.\u00a0<\/b><br\/><br\/>Price alone was not the reason SES SA, with a fleet of 65 satellites, decided to fly on a used rocket, he said.<br\/><br\/>&#8220;Someone has to go first,&#8221; Halliwell said. &#8220;Really what we want to do here is encourage the launcher industry to follow this way forward.&#8221;<br\/><br\/>Proving the concept works is crucial to SpaceX, which is moving on from an accident in September that damaged another Florida site.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SpaceX also is working on a passenger spaceship, with two unidentified tourists signed up for a future trip around the moon. The company&#8217;s long-term goal under founder Musk is to fly people to and from Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its 33rd mission, SpaceX is reusing a Falcon 9 booster that originally flew in April 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We don&#8217;t believe we&#8217;re taking an inordinate risk here,&#8221; said Halliwell, noting that the rocket is in sufficiently good shape and its launch insurance rates did not increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He declined to give the cost of the SES-10 satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After sending the SES-10 satellite on its way to orbit, the rocket&#8217;s first stage will have it turn around and attempt to land itself on an ocean platform. If successful, SpaceX could fly the booster a third time, said company spokesman John Taylor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The rocket&#8217;s second stage, which is not recovered, will continue firing to carry SES-10 into an initial egg-shaped orbit high above Earth. It will provide TV and other communications services to Latin America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rocket is scheduled to blast off at 6:37 p.m. local time from the
