But this did not solve the problem. Once again, the starch engine was cut off very quickly, and the rocket broke down before falling to the ground. Space X said that the “enthusiastic event” in the Iftar part of the starch resulted in the loss of several repeater engines, after which the attitude was overcome and the loss of communication with the ship.
The match between the two failures suggests a potential design issue with the upgraded “Block 2” version of the Starsing, which debuted in January and re -flown in March. The starchy block 2 is slightly taller than the ship’s Space X, which is used in the first six flights of the rocket, which includes re -designed flats, improved batteries and avionics, and in particular, a new fuel feed line system for ship raptor vacuum engines.
SpaceX has not released the results of the Flight 8 failure investigation, and the FAA has not yet issued a launch license for Flight 9. Similarly, Space X has not released any information about the changes in the stars for next week’s flight.
What do we know about the starchy vehicle that is for a flight 9-designed ship 35-that is, it has made some efforts to complete the entire period of test firing. Space X completed an engine’s static fire on April 30, which re -starts the reptor engine in space. Then, on May 1st, Space X eliminated six engine test firing before its planned 60 seconds arrived. The videos caught by the test media showed a flash in the engine plum, and at least a piece of debris was seen taking care of the flame trench under the ship.
Space X -Ground staff returned to the production site a two -mile production site, to replace a damaged engine, before returning to the test stand back to the test stand for a weekend for a successful engine firing on Monday.
Now, the ship will return to the star base blood site, where the technicians will make the final preparation for the flight 9. These last tasks can load the make -up star link broadband satellite in the plane’s pay load bay and contain touch -ups to the rocket heat shield.
There are two elements of the starchy that Space X Engineer are desperate to demonstrate on Flight 9, in addition to solving problems with only the last two missions. These failures have been designed to better counter the starchy delays and combat an upgraded temperature shield to a better combat temperature to reach 2,600 ° Fahrenheit (1,430 ° C) during the renal.
