Fourth test flight of Elon Musk’s ‘Starship’ planned

Date:

American billionaire Elon Musk’s company SpaceX wants to send its rocket “Starship”, the largest rocket system ever built in space history, on another test flight in the next three to five weeks.

“The goal is for the rocket to go beyond the maximum heating power or at least further than the last time,” company boss Elon Musk said in response to a question on the short message service X (formerly Twitter), which he owns.

Rocket burned up during third test flight
Earlier this year, the SpaceX rocket nearly completed a full test flight through space on its third attempt. After getting further than she had ever gone before, she burned up when she returned to Earth. Musk’s long-term plans for the space rocket also include manned flights to Mars.

Should make flights to the moon and Mars possible
The ‘Starship’ – consisting of the approximately 70 meter long ‘Super Heavy’ booster and the approximately 50 meter long upper stage (also called ‘Starship’) – is intended to enable manned missions to the Earth’s moon and Mars. The system is designed so that both the spacecraft and the rocket can be reused after return to Earth.

The system, which is approximately 120 meters long in total, will be able to transport more than 100 tons of freight in the future. NASA wants to take astronauts to the moon again with the ‘Starship’.
