Space X’s Starshap were out of control during a test flight on Thursday The second launch continuously That the vehicle is suffering from a deadly problem along the orbit.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Stopped briefly Flights to the large airports of Florida and It seems that has been turned Some other “space launch debris” are cautious. The agency told Tech Crunch that it needs Space X to need to be done, known as an investigation into a failure accident.
The company started the starch using its super heavy booster and things appeared as usual for the first eight minutes of flight. The ship was successfully separated and moved into space, while booster returned to the company’s launch pad in Texas, where Caught The third time through the launch tower.
But in about eight minutes and nine seconds of the flight, SpaceX’s broadcast graphics showed that the starchy lost several repeater engines on the vehicle. Onboard footage shows that the ship started at the end of the sea at the end of the sea.
“We have just seen some engines go out, it looks like we are losing control of the ship,” said Dan Hott, a manager of Space X Communications. “At this point we have lost contact with the ship.”
Footage The ship posted on social media was shown broken over Bahamas and Dominican Republic After a few minutes. Company Posted For X, it immediately began harmony with security officials to implement the default emergency response. “
High -profile back toback blasts have surfaced when Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, has spent the past few weeks, causing chaos to the entire US federal government. With the performance of your department government. In it he has deployed employees to the FAA, which oversees SpaceX flights.
Space X was hoping to deploy four dummy versions of its starlink link satellite during Thursday’s test flight, a step towards the purpose of using the Starship for commercial missions. The company is deliberately developing a starch by fasting in succession by testing, and learning from both right and wrong.
But Thursday’s failure comes a few weeks later The seventh test flightIn which the starsup on the islands of Torks & Cakeus suffered a brilliant breakdown, which led to the FAA diverting several flights to the airspace.
Space X investigated an accident about the failure. Company Permanent property was leaked inside The starchy, which led to the fire and communications blackout before destroying itself with the ship.
Prior to this test flight, SpaceX said it had improved those lines that send fuel to starchy engines and change the temperature of the property. It also added additional vents and “a new paradigm system” against any leaks.
In his previous test flights, Space X saw his starchy breakdown when he tried to re -enter the land environment. The company made changes to the seventh test flight that were believed to help learn how to better prepare the SKP ship.
“With Flight 8, we are focused on finding the real world boundaries of the stars, so we can eventually prepare to return to the launch site and prepare it.” Is written On Thursday on X.
