When Spacex for the first time fired the girl, she exploded shortly after take off. Since then, the world’s most powerful missile has moved seven times, as each trip has shown improvement in some areas of the car design, but the issues in others.
One of the main achievements so far included the launch tower, which hunts the heavy supporter in the first stage, where it returned to the launch platform shortly after the deployment of the spacecraft in the upper stage to the orbit.
It is amazing to see, with a 71 -meter (232 -feet) missile, which is launched around dozens of its 33 RAPTOR engines to install itself ready for the giant mechanical weapons to the tower.
The system allows SpaceX to reuse the supporter for multiple tasks, allowing it to save launch costs.
The plan is to do the same with the spacecraft in the spacecraft, and this week’s Spaces Elon Musk president said that his team hoped to try to maneuver this year.
In response to a post on the X, which showed footage of a spacecraft in the spacecraft whose engines are launched in a dominated splash in the Indian Ocean at the end of the previous stars test, Musk books: “Later this year, if the pot smiled on Spacex, the ship will be caught by the tower, just like the supporter.”
Plashing this will be a great achievement for the company, because it does not do this even with the second stage of the Falcon 9.
The long -term plan is to use the spacecraft in the spacecraft to transport the crew and goods to the moon and even Mars, before returning it to Earth. With this goal in mind, Spacex will be keen to know if he can return the car in the same way that you work with a super heavy supporter, and secure it with mechanical arms. However, it first needs to ensure the reliability of the spacecraft after the car suffered from failures in the middle of the mid -important tasks in the seventh and eighth tasks.
Spacex is now preparing for the ninth test in the Starship championship after the latest in March. Musk recently said that it will be held next week, however, statement From the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday indicated that at the time of publication, Spacex did not receive a launch permit.
