After the successive stirring, Spacex says that the ninth test for Starship is a game

Spacex’s Starship is scheduled to be launched on Tuesday, May 27, after receiving the green light from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) this week.

This will be the ninth test of this heavy missile, which is a major part of the Spacex mission to eventually send people to Mars and a decisive component of NASA’s ARTEMIS Moon. We will pay close attention to the usual this time, given that the last two lanes were not well.

The seventh test trip in January It ended with the explosion of the upper stage in the spacecraft Almost eight and a half minutes after the launch. Missile I met a similar fate during the eighth test in March. Things went smoothly for their super heavy support, which were successfully caught with the 400 -foot Mixella Tower. But near the end of the upper rising, six of the nine Raptor engines died, and the car was sent to stumbling. Spacex lost contact with the ship 9 minutes after the launch, and it exploded shortly.

Pay the FAA accident to conduct a spacecraft review from the spacecraft. The agency announced this week that Spacex is good to go for the next test – nine so far.

“The Federal Aviation Administration conducted a comprehensive safety review of Mishap 8 Starship Mishap and decided that the company had dealt with the form of the causes of the accident, and therefore, the vehicle can return to the trip,” the agency said in a statement via e -mail. “FAA Spacex will be achieved of all corrective actions.”

Spacex says it has identified and tackled problems. The company explained that Super Heavy has safely returned to Mechazilla, but one of its engines failed to shoot while burning Boostback. The most likely cause was the high temperature of the engine ignition, which Spacex says is addressed to add more insulation.

The company has attributed the loss of the top stage in Starship to the failure of the devices in one of its central engines, which led to an unexpected flammation of the fuel. Spacex conducted a “large -scale” ground test to better understand failure, and to address it through many major repairs to charging engines. This included tightening the main joints, implementing the new nitrogen cleansing system, and making improvements to the motivation drain system.

Spacex also gave a signal to the upcoming RAPTOR 3S – the latest RAPTOR. The company stated that this new engine will have additional reliability improvements to tackle flight accidents 8.

FAA approval indicates that she is confident in these reforms – but it comes with circumstances. The Agency expanded the size of the abnormal areas of risk-constructed areas before launching to prevent other aircraft from flying across the specified airspace-in the United States and other countries because Spacex plans to reuse a highly heavy reinforced reinforcing that was launched for the first time during this developing trip.

The danger zone of the flight 9 will cover about 1,600 nautical miles, extending east of Starbase, Texas, through the Florida Strait, including the Bahamas, the Turks and Kaikos. This is a much larger dangerous area than that was appointed on the last test trip, which covered 885 nautical miles. When the spacecraft exploded, approximately 240 trips were disrupted.

All Eyes will be on Spacex next week as the company is trying to return its program to the right track. I put these successive failures after several months of the schedule. Regardless of whether flight 9 test leads to another explosive failure or explodes without any obstacles, it will celebrate a decisive moment for Spacex.
