This sixth test for the Space X Starship launch includes a lot of actions and objectives from the previous flight test, and that’s probably why the Federal Aviation Administration has approved very quickly that these two flights be done in the same month. It’s impressive how SpaceX successfully scheduled two test flights in the same month, since up until this point, Elon Musk has to wait even months sometimes to have its test approved by the Federal Aviation Administration.
In their website post, SpaceX claims that the Elon Musk project plans to have the same success as the previous testing rounds, including the catch of the Starship at the launch site. Space X also plans to put the skyrocket to multiple experiments such as the trials for the heat shield and various tactics for the upper-stage reentry.
“Objectives include the booster once again returning to the launch site for catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean.”, they stated in the blog post about the Space x Starship launch.
After all these tests are more focused on improving the starship and providing important upgrades that can be tested again in the next test flight round. The Elon Musk project for the next flight test aims to redesign the rocket flaps, create larger fuel tanks, and design a powerful thermal protection system.
It’s important to know that the launch will be live-streamed, and the actual live webcast will start 30 minutes before the launch which is set for 2 p.m. Those who are interested in seeing the Space X Starship launch can see the live stream on the X or SpaceX website.
