A new setback for “SpaceX” with the explosion of its giant missile “Starsp” again

Speus X, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, lost the second layer of its giant missile, as it happened in a previous experience early this year, but it was able to restore the first layer in a remarkable maneuver.
“We have lost contact with the vehicle.”

“Unfortunately, this also happened the last time, so we have some experience in this field,” he added, explaining that the company is working in close cooperation with the air traffic control authorities. “

The US Federal Aviation Administration announced that it had suspended some takeoffs and “briefly slowed planes” to avoid any possible collision with debris.

It also ordered “SpaceX” to conduct an investigation into this new incident, as it did in January.

In the evening, the company confirmed on the “X” platform that the vehicle was subjected to “a rapid, unplanned disintegration”, that is, an explosion.

“Before the climb was completed, an energy event at the back of the Starchip vehicle led to the loss of engines+Raptor+several. This led to the loss of control and ultimately the loss of+Starchib+. The final connection occurred with+Starsp+after about 9 minutes and 30 seconds of takeoff.”

During the last test trip in mid -January, the spacecraft exploded after a few minutes of the trip, divorcing a glowing wreck in the sky of the Caribbean Sea region, the latest slight material damage in the Trix and Kaikos Islands, which is more than 2500 km from the launch site.

Videos circulated on social media on Thursday showed lines of light in the sky over the Bahamas.

In connection with Agence France -Presse, the archipelago government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Reuse

This 123 -meter -altitude missile (which is equal to a building of approximately 40 layers), which is developed by “SpaceX” for use on trips to the moon and Mars, launched from Boca Chika in Texas without accidents after 17:30 (23:30 GMT).

After a few minutes of taking off and separating the two layers, the augmented missile called “Super Hevi” began to land tied to the launch platform before being installed by mechanical arms installed on the launch tower.

The company succeeded in implementing this maneuver on Thursday for the third time, amid the applause and chants of joy from its teams.

“We don’t get tired of seeing,” said Kate Tays, one of Spice X employees.

Soon after, the vehicle seemed to revolve around itself.

The company said as a result that it lost control, which caused anxiety among its teams.

Elon Musk ultimately aims to restore the “Starsp” layers to reuse them after each trip. This strategy aims to enable “SpaceX” to increase the operations of vehicles more quickly at a lowest cost.

Fears of interventions

These explosions are not the first to take place during a trial of the Starchip vehicle, as the company “SpaceX” has evolved its missiles at the utmost speed, and depends on several launch operations for preliminary models to quickly correct the problems that happen during actual aviation.

Although this trend achieved success for the dominant company, we are currently on the launch operations market to orbit, but it was not without criticism.

Associations were a lawsuit against the American authorities, accusing them of a miscalculation of the environmental impact of these launch operations, as the Texas Space Base is located near the areas protected on the coast.

The great rapprochement of Eileon Musk by President Donald Trump raises fears that interference in the decisions of the organizational authorities.

In light of Joe Biden’s presidency, Elon Musk has several times criticized the Civil Aviation Organizational Authority, accusing her of excessive control over his company.

According to Bloomberg, an engineer from “SpaceX” went to the headquarters of the organizational authority two weeks ago, and urged the company’s work teams to work on a program to publish thousands of satellites “Starlink” that Elon Musk also developed, under penalty of losing their jobs.
SpaceX denied this information, noting on the “X” platform, which was also owned by Musk, that “the recent articles on Spice X and the Federal Aviation Administration are false.”
