The Spacex ninth testing test provides mixed results
The biggest, most powerful launching car built is the meant to be a key side of Spacex plans to send people to Mars-and NASA’s plans to restore the astronauts, too
The Spacex Starship Rocket Launches from Starbase, Texas, As Seen from South Padre Island Lost Contact with the upper stage of Starship as it leaked fuel, and made an uncontrolled reentry around the world, likely disintegrating over the Indian Ocean, Officials said.

In the ninth flight test test, ExcokeThe vehicle’s vehicle launch once has reached space, more problems with no last ends with two-passed attempts. But like bad trips before, in it, the stars failed to achieve the land that was excluded. Instead the vehicle is uncontrolled and worsen during the atmospheric reentry.
Although every step of the star thus succeeded in demonstrating the strong technical progress with a titanic advancement in a subsequent titanic-shaped development “which sentted the flaming wastes running on the ground. All efforts, it is expected, proved to be useful if there are regular operations because the intention of the spacex to do the vehicle, in the distance, the largest and most capable perfect useful spacecraft.
In most recent tests, about 50 minutes after launching, spacex Confirmed That star came to death. At first, everyone in the flying car showed well. ships-Thoodly “long” stack “consisting of a giant, 33-engine super heavy booster and a plus spacebecraft in spacex, tex. But the spacecraft’s tendency is a ballits subshital passage of space.

“Ship engine cutoff-three most beautiful words in English language,” declared Dan Huot, a SpaceX communication manager, during the company ALIVE to try to fly near the launch site. All around him, the sigh of relief can be heard while the Spacex employees begin to determine that the flight of the day is also not repeated in the past two, resulting in the oceans that blast at the Atlantic Sea of the Atlantic.
About 18 minutes after launching Tuesday, however, issues began to go out. First, operators have decided not to deploy satellite demonstrations in Starlink as planned for a shutting door to pay. Afterwards, about half hours after the launch, reported on the spacex control of the spacex suspects the propellant flowings during the india rainfall.
“We don’t get all the reentry data we expect,” Hearted by Livestream. “It’s a new ship generation … we really try to put through wringer, because there’s a whole lot more we need to know.”
Meanwhile, even if the star of the star itself shows a good show, the super heavy booster helps it reach out to the space of one’s own problems. Moments after firing machines enter for a landing at the Atlantic Ocean, the booster instead of broken. It is not completely unexpected; In accordance with “SPACEX testing” Super heavy method attempts to revise a distinctive, potentially withdrawal to withdrawing boosters to more powerful aerodynamic forces. Despite its unpublished disassa, the booster marking an essentially important for the spacex: for the first time, it flew over an almost suited test in the sections of the stars.
And the booster remains an amazing demonstration of spacox change; a super heavy past made SpaceFlight History If it’s done the first rocket to get in the middle of the middle mechanical limbs. In the new launch, the super heavy turned into the intended jobs to bring the star and testing techniques to the reentry of Espiee, during the spacox flight.
“There is always a moment that we cannot reach every purpose we show for ourselves,” Anderson added, “but success comes from what we learned today.”
In X, the former Deputy manager of NASA Lori Garver praises Spacex transparency but found This is “not the consequences we expect.” Garver helped to forget collaboration with agency space with a spacex, which has helped to see commercial commercial launching commercial launches of NASA.
The stars are the most valued stone in the SpaceX’s ambitious plan In order to establish human residences on Mars and also seized crews of crews in lunar years for NASA’s Artemis III mission. Long stakes are given for the vehicle, the mixed test program results disappoint, to say the least. Especially, the past two attempts, Flights 7 and 8, each ends with two strange blasts in the Atlantic Ocean. For flight 8 in particular, machines are closed in unexpected minutes after launch, cause spacecraft in a mutual. Accepted by Spacex Some public backlash After spacecraft waste, company claimed with fewer risks, carrying several trips to midflight for passenger airplanes under threat.
However, the spacex shows stalwart and even optimistic about flights 7 and 8, calling the malfunctions later “ENERGETIC Event“That happened because of hardware complications. Last week the company says both blasts have a”Different different“Cause. And in A news release Flying launch 9, knowing that flight 8 announces upgrades and Starship changes for the latest test.
“Progress in progress by definition is unpredictable,” Spacex said to a release of press release For flight 9
What is Starship Starship status for high intention of Spacex in “Make life massacre“? If there is anything, the company’s descriptions are proposed for regular, custom operation of the vehicle and remain unrealistic optimistic.
Last year Spacex Founder Elon Musk expressed a Post on social media That the company has planned to launch “about five” unchanged stars on Mars for two years. on another post Shortly after the mixed flight results, he offered the vehicle’s success and predicted that the next few flights take place at a speed of a month. Can or not such a hurry can, it is desired, given the pressure spacex faces to deal with its honorable promises.
