SpaceX is on the verge of the sixth test flight of the giant Starship rocket. This important space event, which is scheduled to take place on November 19, will revolutionize the landscape of space travel.
According to Tekna Technology Media Astronomy News Service, the main purpose of this test flight is to evaluate the overall performance of the starship system and the super heavy booster. SpaceX is looking to successfully launch the rocket and fully recover it upon return. This will be a big step towards achieving Elon Musk’s long-term goal of traveling to Mars.
The launch of the starship will take place from the Starbase space base in South Texas. Estimated launch time is 5pm ET (9pm GMT) on November 19th. However, this time may change due to technical or weather reasons. Enthusiasts can watch this historic event live through specialized space websites such as Space.com. The live stream usually starts a few minutes before the kick-off time.
At approximately 122 meters tall, Starship is the tallest and most powerful rocket ever built. This missile has 33 Raptor engines in the first stage and 6 Raptor engines in the second stage. The purpose of Starship design is the possibility of carrying heavy cargo to Earth orbit and even other planets. SpaceX has made significant progress in previous Starship test flights. In the fifth flight, the company managed to return the Super Heavy rocket to the ground after launch and land it vertically. This is a great achievement in the space industry.
With recent successes, a bright future is predicted for Starship. SpaceX plans to use this rocket to send humans to the moon and Mars. Also, Starship can be used to launch satellites and perform other scientific missions.
