The successes of SpaceX's StarShip

The StarShip has made history, in the fourth the vast majority of the objectives were met, the progression that SpaceX has is spectacular, the first thing that went well is that the platform held up, it had already held up in the previous ones, the worst test was the First, where the platform was destroyed, it looked like the remains of an Avengers battle.

But the important thing is that SpaceX now finally has a developed and very efficient platform, and this platform is not just a ground from which to launch a rocket, a platform is an entire infrastructure and has a whole human team around it, it is an infrastructure that it has to have elements to assemble the rocket, it has to have elements to load it with fuel and it has to have elements to have security systems so that everything that is there is not destroyed with the launch, for the latter SpaceX installed a system of jets of water they call it a deluge of water and it really is, it was tens of thousands of liters of water.

Assembling and disassembling, we have already seen many times how the operators have done it and the system works efficiently and in a very short time, they have also reduced the time necessary to load the fuel into the rocket, now SpaceX is capable Filling the StarShip with fuel and oxidizer in record time, in 45 minutes, is tremendous. Keep in mind that both the ship and the super heavy booster carry 4,600 tons of methane and liquid oxygen, and this test has shown that it works very well. like clockwork.

The reliability of the raptor engines the chamber of the raptor engines has to withstand pressures higher than those of any other current rocket engine, producing clean combustion through the use of methane and liquid oxygen, the engines are good, they work well, the problem The thing is that this ship has 39 engines and although there is a margin of several failures, several engines can fail and still work, the ideal is that none of them fail and that has also improved a lot.

In the fourth launch of the StarShip, apparently only one raptor engine failed and also the eta of the super heavy was able to light up later to land when the restart was done, a vital operation also because this is important is the third point; The landing of the Super Heavy rocket has been a success, we also already know that SpaceX has more than 300 vertical landings with the Falcon 9 but the Super Heavy is something else, the Super Heavy is much larger.

The Falcon 9 in comparison is like trying to park a passenger car and the super heavy is like trying to park a trailer, a truck, the falcon 9 has a diameter of 3.6 m while the super heavy has 9 meters in diameter; In this case, the super heavyweight has made a simulated landing in the Gulf of Mexico and it turned out well, which is a step that Elon Musk really wants for the poet to land vertically on the platform and also be caught with enormous robotic arms from the Tower. It's almost like a movie, they call it Mechazila. It's something impressive.

At the moment the company is making constant progress, getting the ships ready and adding other projects for the new conquest of space.
