Elon Musk’s SpaceX company has begun major preparations for the third test flight of the Starship rocket. This expedition of Starship, which has the title of the world’s largest rocket with its volume and carrying capacity, is also of great importance for the company to prove itself again in space research.
It is said that the rocket, which has been tested twice so far, is gradually reaching an increasingly stable level. If this development continues, the cards may be redistributed in the space domain. In his statement on the subject, Musk said that they would make the flight if the weather conditions are as desired. Here are all the details…
Starship is ready for its third test flight!
However, Elon Musk’s negative views about Starship have upset many people in the industry. Arguing that the probability of failure in the test expedition is quite high, the entrepreneur states that if SpaceX does not take the necessary precautions, there will be problems, especially in the engine area of the rocket. Explaining that comprehensive measures have been taken in this regard, company officials underlined that the engine production capacity in the factory has been increased.
The world’s largest rocket will take off in just minutes!
The flight, permitted by the US Federal Aviation Administration, will be made on a very different platform from the previous one. With this change, it is aimed to increase the chance of success. It is said that especially the wind level during the flight will play a big role in this sense.
Unless there is a last-minute setback, the test flight will take place in Texas today at 14:26 Turkey time. It was announced that the flight will also be broadcast live on SpaceX’s official X account. With this news, space enthusiasts have already started counting the minutes.
