The ground-based landing zone has been used by SpaceX in the past, in addition to its floating barges, which being able to recover rockets consistently at LZ-1 will help considerably with the company\u2019s goal of cutting down Falcon 9 reflight time to within 24 hours an initial launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" src=\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=680\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=680 680w, https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=1360 1360w, https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=150 150w, https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=300 300w, https:\/\/tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/05\/spacex_2017-may-01.jpg?w=768 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/>&nbsp;SpaceX is taking its second shot at NROL-76, a Falcon 9 mission launching from LC-39A at NASA&#8217;s Kennedy Space Station.
