SpaceX’s spacecraft is the largest and most powerful yet, yet another set of Elon Musk’s plan to explode over the Indian Ocean, marking the ninth failure of the prototype and colonizing Mars.
The prototype was lifted from a mask facility near a village in southern Texas at 6:39 pm local time. It has been reported.
As Donald Trump is calling it now, the indication of the first stage came when the super-heavy booster of the first stage exploded, instead of performing a planned splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico or the US Gulf.
AP Live feed After its release, it showed that the upper-stage spacecraft failed to open the door to deploy the payload of the Starlink satellite “simulator.”
At 2:44 on Blastoff, the rocket reached over 4,620 kph (approximately 2,870 mph). video. It reached a top speed (16,155 mph) above 26,000 kph before it exploded. When the expected flip occurred, people could hear them cheer. By 4:15pm on sale, everything was going perfectly, as experts said. With this videothey will ultimately discuss losing control and communication with the spacecraft and mark the end of the 9th exam.
Spin out uncontrollably
The ship flew further than the two previous attempts, but developed a leak. It started to get out of control as it coasts through the space of the suborbital pathway, and eventually fell apart to the point of being uncontrollable.
“Starship experienced a rapid, unplanned demolition,” SpaceX posted on X – the familiar e-song representation for failure – adds what you’ll learn from the set-off.
“Starship’s ninth flight test marked a major milestone for reuse as it fired a super heavy booster with the first flight from Starbase proven and returned to space again to Starship,” SpaceX said on X.
Musk vowed to pick up the pace: “Spending the next three flights of cadence will be faster every three to four weeks,” said the Tesla and X’s platform owner.
However, Musk did not mention whether he was planning to deliver a live stream about Mars that SpaceX had been promoting.
Federal regulators granted SpaceX the license to Starship’s latest flight attempt just four days ago, closing off an accident investigation that grounded the spacecraft for nearly two months.
Mask approval for 25 launches per year
According to France 24 Reportthe FAA approved an increase in spacecraft launches from 5 to 25 per year. He said the expanded schedule would not affect the environment. This is a decision that rejected objections from the conservation group due to concerns about the impact on sea turtles and share birds.
The Starship has now completed nine integrated test flights on top of the Super Heavy Booster, but it was the first flight since Test 2, when both vehicles were lost.
SpaceX bets that the “fast and learn quickly” spirit will help dominate commercial SpaceFlight.
On the bright side, SpaceX caught three times with the giant robot arms at the launch tower and three times with the super heavy booster. This allows for reusing multiple times at a very low cost.
