Another Space X rocket exploded in Texas | The Starsh …

The rocket prototype Starship SN11 of SpaceX exploded this Tuesday when landing in Boca Chica (Texas, UNITED STATES). This is the fourth consecutive failure of this type of rocket test for the company since December, as part of the flight project Elon Musk’s largest private spacecraft to Mars.

The problem, apparently, arose when the operator of the vessel announced that it was 1 kilometer above sea level. At this point, the video signal was frozen and they could no longer have sex. The stopwatch, at that time, marked 5 minutes and 49 seconds of flight. Shortly after, SpaceX engineer John Insprucker confirmed that the prototype would not return.

Fog obscured the explosion, but live broadcasts showed a flash. While the reason for the failure is not known for sure, there is a possible explanation. “It appears that engine 2 had problems with the climb and did not reach working pressure in the pressure chamber when the landing was fired, but, in theory, this was not necessary. “, Elon Musk explained.

It was the company’s 11th prototype spacecraft and the fourth to perform a test flight. The flight plan, as detailed by SpaceX itself, was to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters before descending to the ground.

On March 4, the Starship SN10 prototype exploded shortly after landing after the initial test was suspended. Another precedent came on February 2 when the Starship SN9 exploded on its last descent, as did the SN8 destroyed late last year.

With the Starship spacecraft, SpaceX aims to transport goods and people to the Moon, Mars and other places in space. Each would be able to carry loads of more than 100 tons and 100 passengers at the same time, according to company estimates.
