A historic moment for SpaceX: the successful landing of the Starship rocket to the launch pad

SpaceX achieved a historic moment with the successful launch of the Starship rocket and the successful landing of its booster on the launch pad.

October 13, corresponding to 22 Mehr, became a historic day for SpaceX. SpaceX has successfully launched its Starship rocket, completing its fifth test flight. In this mission, the Super Heavy booster returned to the launch pad nearly seven minutes after launch. This is a great achievement for SpaceX.

This is the first time that SpaceX has successfully returned a rocket booster and is one step closer to developing a reusable rocket system.

On this mission, the starship separated from the Super Heavy booster and continued orbiting, traveling halfway around Earth before re-entering the atmosphere and crashing into the Indian Ocean. There were no humans on the rocket, and the company has hundreds of similar unmanned missions in its future plans.

According to the website of the SpaceX company, the company’s engineers spent years preparing and months spent conducting tests to return the launch vehicle, and the company’s technicians spent tens of thousands of hours developing the necessary infrastructure to maximize the chances of the mission’s success.
