Recent photos from SpaceX on Twitter show the Starship rocket booster on the platform.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, SpaceX has taken it to the platform with the aim of testing the prototype of the Starship rocket booster called Super Heavy. Booster 9 is the first rocket since the initial Starship launch that is now on the platform. In the initial test, this missile caused damage to the Starbase orbital base.
Since the first test flight, in addition to fixing the rocket’s violations, the launch pad has also been undergoing repairs and upgrades. After adding a steel plate to protect the platform, SpaceX is now preparing for another orbital launch.
The exact time of the second test launch has not yet been determined. The launch time is variable, and about a month ago, Musk announced the launch time in the next 6 to 8 weeks. Of course, aside from Elon Musk’s optimistic timeline, the company also faces regulatory hurdles to fly. An environmental group’s complaint to the US Federal Aviation Administration may have consequences. Photos released by SpaceX show Booster 9 on the launch pad. In its explanation, it is also stated that this booster is undergoing tests related to the next launch.
