SpaceX , the space company of which Elon Musk is CEO, conducted the third launch test for its largest rocket, Starship, today. This launch, followed by millions of people from all over the world, was successful. Here are the details…
SpaceX Starship is in space!
SpaceX Starship has the title of the world’s largest rocket, not only in terms of its weight and size of 5 thousand tons , but also in terms of carrying capacity. For this reason, the third launch test to take place today was a matter of curiosity.
SpaceX Starship , launched from the Starbase SpaceX facility in Texas , USA , was recently launched into space. After a successful takeoff, the rocket will remain in space for 65 minutes, according to the company’s plan, and various tests will be carried out during this time.
According to the statement made by SpaceX , Starship successfully completed all tests in space. However, it was announced that the signal was lost when it started to enter the atmosphere after an hour-long flight. According to the information provided, there is a possibility that the rocket will be lost completely. In fact, this is what the company expects. If it can turn, it will not make a normal landing. It will fall directly into the ocean.
Update: Contact with rocket lost
According to the statement made by the company , SpaceX Starship was disconnected while entering the atmosphere. After long efforts, the connection could not be restored. For this reason, it is thought that the vehicle may have exploded. However, there is also the possibility of falling into the ocean. We will see this in the coming hours.
In fact, SpaceX wasn’t very hopeful either. Because in the company’s previous tests, the rocket exploded before it could even reach orbit . In this regard, the aim was to successfully take off the vehicle in the third test.
