During the routine ground test, the starchy rocket burst on the test pad after a rocket exploded late Wednesday night in Texas, the Star Base facility in Texas was shaken. The blast took place at around 11pm (0400 GMT Thursday) and made a huge fireball in the sky, which was not reported immediately. Due to this test as the so -called static fire of the starchy system, the entire vehicle’s complete destruction and the nearest infrastructure caused some damage. There was already a security card, and all the staff was safe during the security alert and was calculated.
The company says, Space X -Starship blast during a test linked to a tank failure in Noskone
According to a statement released by Space X, the explosion was caused by a “sudden incident” during the preparations for the static fire in the super heavy booster. Initial analysis shows that a pressure tank, known as Copv (Comprehensive Over Wrap Pressure Pressure) in the rocket’s noses, may fail, though a thorough investigation is underway. Officials made it clear that there are no “commonalities” between those used in the Copvs and the Falcon series related to the stars. After the blast, the fire broke out but quickly joined it as the area was cleared of personnel.
The starchy, the rocket that is 403 feet tall, is made as the most powerful launch vehicle. It was intended to lift up to 150 metric tons and return to the ground, Starsh Elon Musk is a central part of the dream of building a human settlement on Mars. In an official statement, Kasturi eliminated the blast, citing it as a “scratch”. The vehicle was preparing for what would be its 10th test flight.
The latest failure is the latest in a series of high -level failures for starchy, including a prototype that literally blown up the Indian Ocean in May. On this mission, the rocket launched as a plan, but its booster did not fulfill the planned splash down. The previous efforts also saw the upper stage breaking the upper stage during the middle flight. In particular, despite its own trials and temptations, SpaceX doubled its fanatic development tempo “aggressively testing and quickly repetition.”
In recent times, the Federal Aviation Administration has approved a one -year start of such skills by the company, which has sought the environmental concerns offered by protection groups. NASA, which uses another Space X project, uses the dragon to take astronauts into orbit, also supports the starchy as another deep space transport system below the line, so the long -term plan is on track.
