The spacecraft of the next generation of Spacex launched another test, as the company is preparing for its ninth trip. Starship carried a fully fixed fire in its upper stage at the StarBase facility in South Texas on May 12. The 171 -foot (52 meters) car launched all the six great Raptor engines for full burning, which lasted about 60 seconds. This represents the third fixed fire of this specified ship, which is now subject to final checks. Spacex Share the video and photos experience in a post in X the next day.
The central vehicle is close to the ninth, as Spacex advances towards the ability to reuse Mars ready
According to Space.com a reportFire Static is one of the last major landmarks before the next launch of the car, although no date has been announced yet. The supportive supporter of the flight 9 conducted a fixed fire test,stir Speaking may only be weeks of the trip. The entire coal is 403.5 feet, which makes it the most powerful missile system ever. It aims to fully reuse heavy support and the upper stage of complete reuse, and a condition for trips to the moon, Mars and beyond.
Starship has completed eight test flights so far, two of them in 2025. Although the tasks themselves had exploded without any obstacles, the higher stage of the ship was introduced in both cases shortly after its arrival in space. During these flights, Super Heavy managed to return to Starbase and land with the help of her “Chopstick” arms for the giant tower in a dramatic maneuver of its kind for the SPACEX missile system. In both cases, the ship exploded after less than 10 minutes of launch, a failure of concerns about the stability of that upper stage.
Spacex Starship has completed, the Colonization Mars is now more than a full set of fixed fire test, and it is expected to be a fully reusable spacecraft after the next test trip. Until then, space monitors will have to continue waiting for progress in Starbase. The ninth launch of this giant car will not be far away if Spacex continues to develop and test at the speed it is going.
