SpaceX, the company of tycoon Elon Musk, was about to make the most important leap in its history: this Monday, April 17, it planned to launch spaceship“He largest and most powerful rocket never built”.
However, the take-off was cancelled due to a problem with the first stage propellant. The company’s idea is to repeat the attempt next Wednesday 19th.
The company got the US Federal Aviation Administration approval (FAA, for its acronym in English) last Friday the 15th. The idea is that the ship carries out a test flight around the world with the ultimate goal of transport people into spacein particular, towards the planet Mars and the Moon.
with his almost 120 meters (400 feet) high and from south Texas, spaceship take-off is expected, this time, with no one on board.
What will the launch of Starship be like?
This will be the first launch with the two sections of the Starship together. The first versions of the upper stage – with a strong sci-fi look – were launched several kilometers into the stratosphere a few years ago and they clashed four times before finally landing upright in 2021.
the imposing booster rocket of the first stage, said Super heavy, will now arise for the first time. For this demonstration, SpaceX will not attempt no rocket or spaceship landingsas everything is expected to fall into the sea.
