SpaceX’s next generation starspace spacecraft has participated in another test as the company is ready for its ninth flight. The Starshap on May 12 set a full -fledged fire of its upper phase at the Star Base facility in southern Texas. The 171 -foot -long (52 meters) vehicle fired all six of its powerful repeater engines for a full -time burning, which took about 60 60 seconds. He marked the third such stable fire for this specific ship, which is now undergoing the final check. The next day, Space X shared videos and photos of the case in a post on X.
Starshap is close to the ninth launch because Space X grows towards re -prevailing ready for Mars
According to a Space.com ReportThe stable fire is one of the last major milestones before the car’s coming launch, though no date has been announced yet. The booster assigned to Flight 9 has already conducted a steady fire test,Spark Talk, this can be only weeks from flight. Fully decorated, the starchy stands 403.5 feet, making it the most powerful rocket system so far. Its super heavy booster and the upper phase of the ship are aimed at complete reuse, the moon, Mars needs to travel and beyond.
The starchy has completed eight test flights to date, two of them in 2025. Although the missions themselves blew themselves up without interruption, both times immediately after reaching space in the upper phase of the ship. During these flights, the Super Heavy managed to fly on the Star Base and Land with the help of his giant launch tower’s “Chop Stick” arms in the dramatic plan, which was a type of Space X rocket catcher system. But both times the ship exploded in less than 10 minutes of launch, a failure that has raised concerns about the stability of this upper phase.
Space X -stars, Mars Colonial spacecraft, has now completed a more than a complete static fire test run, and it is expected that it will be a completely re -usable spacecraft after the next test flight. Until then, astronauts will have to wait for progress in the star base. The ninth launch of this giant vehicle is probably not far away if Space X is manufactured at this speed and the speed at which it is going.
