Issues to be resolved for the Starship

The Starship the SpaceX interplanetary spacecraft prototype is almost ready for its second test flight, the assembly of the Super Heavy launch rocket with the Starship spacecraft was completed on September 5 at the Star base facilities at Space X in Boca Chica, Texas. , almost on the border with Mexico.

The teams are practically ready, only a few issues are missing, to be exact 63 issues, that is the number of requirements that the United States Federal Aviation Administration told SpaceX that it had to meet so that the space company could carry out the launch.

In the first test there were things that did not go well, the Federal Aviation Administration considers that these failures could pose a risk to the safety of people, property and wildlife in the area near the launch site, one of the biggest problems was the destruction of the rocket launch stand.

It took off with such brutal power that it destroyed the structure on which it was throwing debris around the launch area. Another thing that nature conservation organizations did not like, especially, was the destruction of the rocket, an operation that had to be carried out When the failures caused a loss of control of the ship, the explosion created a shower of fragments and debris, something undesirable, and that was what caused conservation organizations to file a lawsuit against the Federal Aviation Administration.

SpaceX has analyzed all these problems and has made important changes with respect to the previous test. The launch platform has been reinforced, what they call a water deluge has been added, which is literally a huge jet of water that is activated. At launch to avoid damage, they have also opted for a hot-start approach, which verifies that the rocket's upper stage engines will ignite before separating from the booster.

This adjustment not only improves performance, but also increases the height of the Star Ship of the set by 1.8 meters, now the rocket and ship reach 122 meters in height, in addition they are applying various changes to improve the rocket, the ship and comply with the 63 requirements, in fact, the latest information published by Elon Musk, on September 10, is that 57 of the requirements have been met and that the remaining six would not be for this launch, they would be to apply later grandparents.

We have learned from the failures of the first test, that is what they are for, at the time of making this publication there is still no date for the launch, but if we are lucky we may see it in a few weeks.
