Alan Musk’s SpaceX launched on Thursday, but this happiness did not last long. Alan Musk, who is eagerly waiting for this launch, has suffered a major setback as the starship lost control in space after a few minutes after the launch, causing the engine to be closed. Shown in the company’s live stream. A few minutes after the engine shutdown, several videos on social media saw debris -like debris of a spacecraft in the evening sky near South Florida and Bahamas.
According to the Reuters report, the federal aviation administration has banned Miami, Fort Lauderdel, Palm Beach and Orlando airports at least 8 pm due to “space -projection debris”. Starship disintegration in space occurred when it was shown uncontrollably in the Mission’s SpaceX Live Stream.
SpaceX later stated in an update that during the ascension of the Starship, “the vehicle was rapidly separated and lost contact”, and said that its team started coordinating with security officials immediately to implement pre -planned contingent responses “.
We will review the data obtained from today’s flight test to better understand the root cause. As usual, success comes from what we learn, and will provide additional lessons to improve the reliability of today’s flight starship.
The huge starship rocket was launched as a flight to release artificial satellites in space on Thursday. The launch attempt occurred about two months after the explosion ended with the explosion, resulting in a vivid debris on the Ottoman and Kaikos Islands. On Thursday, the eighth testing flight launch saw successful flight and phase separation, in which SpaceX successfully caught the booster of the first stage with huge mechanical arms on the pad. However, SpaceX lost his control over Starships.
The 403-foot (123-meter) rocket flew from Texas just before sunset. As SpaceX grabbed the first -stage booster back to the launch pad using huge mechanical arms, the spacecraft continued its east side projection path and made a controlled re -entered over the Indian Ocean thousands of miles away, before the crew’s contact on the ground was lost. The flight was about to last about an hour, aimed at complete the satellite distribution test, which remained incomplete during the January unsuccessful performance.
NASA closely monitored the mission, as the space agency has already booked Starships to put astronauts on the moon at the end of this decade. Like the previous tests, Starships took four fake satellites out after reaching space on this eighth test flight, imitating future missions. These fake satellites, similar to the Starlink Internet satellites of SpaceX, are designed to re -enter the space after their brief venture in space and fall back to the Earth.
In the preparation of future missions, Starship re -designed its flap, computer and fuel systems, the final goal of which was to bring the spacecraft back to the launch site – like a fine booster. During the previous demo, SpaceX successfully captured the booster on the pad, but the spacecraft exploded a few minutes later over the Atlantic. There was no injury or significant damage.
The ongoing investigation has revealed that the fire broke out due to fuel leakage, which shut down the engines of the spacecraft. The self-destruction system of the spacecraft worked according to the plan. After the accident, SpaceX made several upgrade to the spacecraft, and the federal aviation administration has since approved the Starship for another launch.
