Tesla delivers a Powerpack system to SpaceX's new spaceport in Texas

Tesla has delivered yet another Powerpack project and this time, it's a lot closer to home and yet it could help send things far away from earth. SpaceX's new rocket launch site in Texas is getting a new energy storage system from Tesla.

From article, (Tesla has delivered yet another Powerpack project and this time, it’s a lot closer to home and yet it could help send things far away from earth.

SpaceX’s new rocket launch site in Texas is getting a new energy storage system from Tesla.

 Currently, SpaceX is launching its rockets for both government and commercial customers from military or NASA launch sites.

But Elon Musk, CEO of both Tesla and SpaceX, wanted the company to have its own spaceport in order not to have to lease those sites for its commercial launches and eventually to launch its Mars missions.

That’s why the company acquired large parcels of land in Boca Chica Beach near Brownsville in South Texas between 2012 and 2014.

They have since been working on building a launch facility at the location with original plans to start launching rockets in 2016, but construction work has been delayed by two years due to complicated dirt work due to poor soil, according to SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell.

But the facility is now coming together and SpaceX reportedly aims to start launching rocket there starting next year.

Before Tesla’s acquisition of SolarCity, SpaceX contracted the company to build a large solar array at the location, which was also delayed.

We are told that the 632 kW solar array is now almost completed and that they are combining it with a Tesla Powerpack system.)
