SpaceX will push the limits in its third Starship test flight

Limits will be pushed in Starship’s third test

Live broadcast of the third test flight will be broadcast on SpaceX’s own website or on the @SpaceX account on X. 14 Mart 14:30 live for the rocket to be launched on broadcast 30 minutes in advance will start. However, let us say that the dates and times are always subject to change.

Completely reusable

SpaceX built the Starship rocket to take people to the Moon and Mars. Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. completely and quickly reusable It was designed this way. As it is known, existing Falcon 9 rockets can also be reused, but the upper stage launched with these rockets is not reusable, that part is left in orbit and the booster lands on Earth.

In Starship, both the lower stage Super Heavy and the upper stage main Starship are reusable. In the previous two launches, the aim was for the upper stage to circle the Earth and fall into the Pacific Ocean. However, this could not be achieved both times.

During the first flight in April 2023, Starship’s stages failed to separate from each other as planned and the vehicle was deliberately detonated approximately four minutes after launch. The second flight, launched in November 2023, had a much better performance. The stages separated and the upper stage exploded about eight minutes later while venting liquid oxygen. Since this evacuation process will not occur in a normal flight, the probability of an explosion is very low.
