SpaceX Starship successfully completes landing sequence
SpaceX has released new images confirming the completion of the twelfth test flight of the Starship spacecraft. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
High-resolution video footage shows the final seconds before the ship's landing on the water's surface. In the initial stage, the ship reduced its speed using two engines, and shortly before touching the water, it switched to a single-engine mode.
This technique is of great importance in controlling the ship's movement and ensuring its stability. Experts note that such a technical approach allows for more precise control of the landing process.
Company head Elon Musk announced that he plans to fly these types of ships more than ten thousand times a year in the future. According to his explanation, a high thrust-to-weight ratio is one of the most essential factors for modern rockets.
The introduction of fully and rapidly reusable systems will significantly reduce the costs of space flight. This is expected to take the economics of the sector to a completely new level.
During the latest test flight, SpaceX recorded a distinctive result. The rocket carried a load weighing approximately forty-five tons into orbit, consisting of special devices representing the weight of satellites.
Currently, the US Federal Aviation Administration is preparing its conclusions on the results of the flight. Following the completion of the investigations, permits for the next tests are expected to be granted.
The new drone images released by the company once again demonstrated the achievements in the field of space technology.
