Reports say that this is the position of stabilizing the fallen handicrafts. Luckily there was a vehicle assembly building to catch the rocket without falling to the ground.
Three days ago, the SN8 prototype held its first high-altitude flight 41,000 feet (12.5 km) When I returned to Earth I saw the rocket explode.
Dec. 9, SN8 Performed an aerial turn, but then crashed into the famous fire after hitting Earth. However, it marked a major leap forward for the first time a plane designed to bring humans to Mars.
This is the first time the SpaceX Starship has flown at high altitudes. Only previous test flights were taken Starship Model vehicles approx 492 feet (150 M.D.) High. These prototypes do not have the nose cones, folds or other signature features needed to control the vehicle’s flight in the thin air of the upper layers of our atmosphere.
“The fuel header tank pressure was low when landing, so the touchdown speed was high & RUD, but we got all the data we needed!” Tweeted Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX at the time of the SN8 crash. “Congratulations SpaceX!”
“Tuesday, here we come !!!” According to Another tweet From Kastur.
This task was considered even more successful as SN8 reached its target height and collected enough data to improve SN9’s trajectory. However, it is not clear whether SN9 is now damaged by its latest crash and when it can try another mission.
SpaceX has developed 10 starship prototypes and created the SN9 parallel to the SN8 so that they can be quickly tested and re-enabled to quickly create “next-generation prototypes”, Musk said.
