Super Heavy Booster 10
Since April 2023, Super Heavy has been launched times, with successes and failures. Starship, the vehicle Super Heavy composes when combined with the Starship spacecraft, has been developed with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale. SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline and adapting it to a wide range of space missions. Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's reusable launch system development program and plan to colonize Mars. There are currently three planned versions of Super Heavy: Block 1 (also known as Version 1 or V1), Block 2, and Block 3. As of March 2025, Block 1 vehicles and Block 2 vehicles have flown. The Super Heavy booster is reusable, and is recovered via large arms on the tower capable of catching the descending vehicle. As of May 2025, booster has been refurbished and subsequently flown at least a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
SpaceX Super Heavy
Super Heavy is the Reusable launch vehicle, reusable first stage of the SpaceX Starship Super heavy-lift launch vehicle, super heavy-lift launch vehicle, which it composes in combination with the SpaceX Starship (spacecraft), Starship second stage. As a part of SpaceX Mars colonization program, SpaceX's Mars colonization program, the booster evolved into its current design over a decade. Production began in 2021, with the first flight being conducted on April 20, 2023, during the Starship flight test 1, first launch attempt of the Starship rocket. The booster is powered by 33 SpaceX Raptor, Raptor engines that use liquid oxygen and methane as propellants. It returns to its launch site after propelling the second stage toward orbit, VTVL, landing vertically by being caught by the launch tower. Design Super Heavy is tall, wide, and is composed of four general sections: the engines, the oxygen tank, the fuel tank, and the interstage. SpaceX Chief executive officer, CEO Elon Mu ...

Atmospheric Reentry
Atmospheric entry (sometimes listed as Vimpact or Ventry) is the movement of an object from outer space into and through the gases of an atmosphere of a planet, dwarf planet, or natural satellite. Atmospheric entry may be ''uncontrolled entry,'' as in the entry of astronomical objects, space debris, or bolides. It may be ''controlled entry'' (or ''reentry'') of a spacecraft that can be navigated or follow a predetermined course. Methods for controlled atmospheric ''entry, descent, and landing'' of spacecraft are collectively termed as ''EDL''. Objects entering an atmosphere experience Drag (physics), atmospheric drag, which puts mechanical stress on the object, and aerodynamic heating—caused mostly by compression of the air in front of the object, but also by drag. These forces can cause loss of mass (ablation) or even complete disintegration of smaller objects, and objects with lower compressive strength can explode. Objects have reentered with speeds ranging from 7.8&n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grid Fin
Grid fins (or lattice fins) are a type of flight control surfaces, flight control surface used on rockets and bombs, sometimes in place of more conventional control surfaces, such as planar fins. They were developed in the 1950s by a team led by and used since the 1970s in various Soviet Union, Soviet ballistic missile designs such as the SS-12 Scaleboard, SS-12 ''Scaleboard'', SS-20, SS-20 ''Saber'', OTR-21 Tochka, SS-21 ''Scarab'', SS-23, SS-23 ''Spider'', and SS-25, SS-25 ''Sickle'', as well as the N1 rocket, N-1 (the intended rocket for the Soviet Moonshot, Soviet moon program). In Russia, they are thus often referred to as ' grid fins. Grid fins have also been used on conventional missiles and bombs such as the Vympel R-77 air-to-air missile; the 3M-54 Klub (SS-N-27 Sizzler) family of cruise missiles; and the American GBU-43 Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) large-yield conventional bomb, and on specialized devices such as the RQ-7 Shadow#Qui ...

Starship Flight Test 8
Starship flight test 8 was the eighth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. The launch tower successfully caught Booster 15; Ship 34 was destroyed before completing its planned flight, as during its initial burn four of the six engines experienced premature shutdowns that resulted in a loss of attitude control followed by a total loss of telemetry. The vehicle's breakup was observed from the Bahamas, Florida, Jamaica and the Turks and Caicos Islands. It was the second flight and second failure of a Block 2 ship. SpaceX had previously aborted a launch attempt late into the count on March 3, 2025, with a second attempt lifting off on March 6, 2025 at 5:30:31 pm CST (23:30:31 UTC). Background Vehicle testing ahead of launch Booster 15 underwent cryogenic testing on December 29, 2024.

Starship Flight Test 9
Starship flight test 9 was the ninth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. Ship 35 and Booster 14-2 flew on this test flight. This flight launched on May 27, 2025, at 23:36 UTC (6:36pm CDT, local time at the launch site). The Ship attempted to achieve the objectives originally planned for Flights 7 and 8, which both failed. This mission's booster, the first Super Heavy to re-fly, underwent experiments in-flight to have its capabilities assessed under off-nominal flight conditions, and was expected to splash down instead of being caught. Ship 35 reached its planned velocity, the first V2 ship to do so. However, it experienced several failures, including a propellant leak and loss of attitude control preventing the Ship from achieving most of its in-space objectives, leading SpaceX to terminate the flight by passivating the vehicle. The booster disintegrated over the designated splashdown area in the Gulf of Mexico just after landing burn ignition, the booster comple ...
