Spacex is having trouble with the upper stage of the starship After back-to-back failuresBut engineers are making amazing -a wonderful development of the huge rocket followers.
The most visible sign of Spacex Making the headway in the first phase of Starship – called Super Heavy – took place at 9:40 with local time (10:40 am EDT; 14:40 UTC) Thursday at the company's Starbase launch site in South Texas. With an undeniable gunshot of orange exhaust, Spacex fired a super heavy follower that had already been on the edge of the space. The burn lasted for about eight seconds.
This is the first time Spacex has a test-fired a “flight-proven” super heavy booster, and it gives the way for this particular rocket-designed Booster 14-to fly again soon. Spacex confirmed A reflight of Booster 14, which was previously Launched and returned to Earth in January.
Spacex said 29 of the 33 machines that had fuel-fueled Raptor Engine's engine had proven flights. “The first Super Heavy Reuse will be a step toward our zero-touch reflight goal,” Spacex wrote to X.
A successful reflight of the Super Heavy Booster will be an important milestone for the Starship program, as engineers are struggling with the upper -stage rocket problems, known only as a ship.
What a difference
Super Heavy machines are capable of making nearly 17 million thousand throts, twice the NASA's Saturn V rocket power that sent astronauts to the moon. Super Heavy is probably the most complex rocket booster to be developed. Certainly this is the biggest. To get a feeling of how big this booster is, think of the fuselage of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet standing at the end.
Spacex has now launched eight full-scale test flights of starship, with a super heavy booster and upper stars of starship together to produce a rocket towering 404 feet (123.1 meters) high. Part of the rocket booster has performed well to this day, with seven consecutive successful launch from a debut flight failure.
Most recently -only, Spacex recovered three super heavy reinforcement in four attempts. Spacex has a treasure of recovery experience and reuse of Falcon 9 Boosters. The total number of Falcon Rocket Landings is now 426.
Spacex again used a Falcon 9 booster in the first time in March 2017. It was a flight flying along with a communication satellite on a mission worth several hundred million dollars.
Leading the Milestone Falcon 9 reflight eight years ago, Spacex spent almost a year repairing and rehearsing a rocket after returning from its first mission. The Rocket raised more mileage on the ground than it did on the flight, first returned to the base of Florida's launch at a spacex ship drone and then moved by truck to the Spacex headquarters in Hawthorne, California, for thorough analysis and arrangement.
When those engineers finished, they brought the booster test site to Spacex in McGregor, Texas, for fir-fiings, then finally returned the rocket to Florida for the final preparation of the launch.
There will not be such a journey for a very heavy follower. First of all, it is harder to carry than the shorter, Skinnier Falcon 9. Super Heavy design also features improvements that the lessons learned in the Falcon 9 program.
