SpaceX’s starchy successfully separated from its super heavy rocket booster and reached orbit on Tuesday evening, but later started spinning and re -occupied the Indian Ocean. According to the company, Space X had cleared the surrounding airspace where the starchy was coming down.
The ninth test flight provided a mixture of successes and failures to the company. After two consecutive blasts, it was the fastest starch test of the year. The starchy, which was launched above the super heavy booster, turned away from Space X’s facility in southern Texas on Tuesday evening. The flight was also the first launch to use a proven super heavy booster, launching and returning during the seventh flight test of the stars.
The heavy booster was successfully separated and the starch entered the space. But the ship was unable to open a side cargo hatch to deploy the Mock satellite in a planned test. Later, in flight, the starchy lost control of the behavior, which means it could not make itself properly for re -entry.
The ninth flight test came after a week of Federal Aviation Administration Clearide Space X Earlier this year, after back -to -back blasts to perform your starch rocket system test flight.
In January, Space x Caught The heavy booster rocket of the starsp The second time on its descent. The starchy successfully separated from the booster and provoked its rockets to climb into orbit, but soon after suffering irregularities it was lost. The debris fell into the airspace near Puerto Rico, forcing the FAA to solve several aircraft in airspace.
SpaceX conducted another test in March. This time, the super heavy booster was separated with success Caught The third time through the launch tower in Texas. The starchy reached the space, but in the flight eight minutes, the ship lost several repeater engines and started spilling.
As a result of two blasts, the FAA increased the size of the dangerous areas in the United States and other countries to flight based on the latest security analysis provided by SpaceX. After completing an investigation into the loss of stars in the eighth flight test, SpaceX made several hardware changes to increase reliability.
