Fourth test of SpaceX's StarShip.

Fourth test of SpaceX's StarShip.



Souce


In a few minutes the fourth launch of the SpaceX Starchip will take place, let's hope that it goes perfectly and that tomorrow, barring last minute difficulties, that fourth takeoff of the StarShip will take place.


It is scheduled for today, June 6, starting at 7am local time, which would be 12pm in Europe, the launch window is scheduled for that time, but there may be some delay because this is also a prototype, nor is it even allowed to have people inside, simply a StarShip prototype.


The idea is that this time it will achieve all the previous goals and that it will not only take off, not only separate from the rocket, not only reach space, and not complete a full orbit of the earth, but it will reach space with amplitude and it will end up landing in the waters of the Indian Ocean, because the goal this time is to bring the ship back to land.


Landing, which is the main goal, in addition to carrying out a series of tests, Elon Musk said that the odds may involve a certain risk because if only one of the ship's tiles is lost, the tiles carried by the ship will be used to be able to build the reentry, they act as a heat shield for the reentry, if one of those tiles is lost the ship could disintegrate, let's see if that's all.
it ends well.




In principle this mission would be much shorter than that of the Starliner, it would last only one hour and 5 minutes between take-off and landing in the waters of the Indian Ocean and to test everything including turning the engines off and on, it will take day spectacular in which they manage to pass all the tests because after this another prototype will have to be sent into orbit around the earth, a prototype will also have to be sent into orbit around the moon.


Because let's remember that the first contract that this ship has is with NASA to build a lander version, in fact, we will have to do a test by sending a Starship lander ship to lunar soil, landing on the moon without a crew, because we will not risk launching a ship without having tested it before, we will see all of this and we will also see the now historic moment of the StarShip manned and in space, which will be impressive.


The spaceship adapted for a human crew must be impressive because the dimensions are enormous, the space, the cabin, it is like a ship from a science fiction film, at the moment we are used to these ships like the Starliner, which is a ship with a enough capacity for seven people, even the dragon ship has capacity for six or seven people, but the spaceship is a house, it is a flying house.


Let's hope everything goes well and let's enjoy take off.
