The largest rocket in the world had problems: SpaceX has canceled the launch into space (video)

To spread: Ilona Maska decided to cancel the eighth test launch of the Starship rocket, which was to complete all the tasks of the past test. On Monday, March 3, the seventh test flight of the largest and most powerful space rocket in the world called Starship, created by Ilona SpaceX, was required. The launch of the rocket was to take place from the Texas Space Sports, but because of the problems that arose, the start was canceled.

It should take place in the near future if all the problems are eliminated, Space writes. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

In January, Starship rocket went to the seventh test flight, which, as focus has already written, was not quite successful. We remind that the 122-meter rocket consists of two degrees. The first degree is the Super Heavy rocket and the second is the Ship space ship.

During the past test, the launch was successful, Super Heavy not only returned back to the starting place, but also could "catch" it with the help of special manipulators of the starting tower. It was a great success for SpaceX. But Ship, which was supposed to fly into orbit, and then drive in the Indian Ocean 10 minutes after launching broke out over the Atlantic.

During the eighth Starship's test flight, SpaceX hoped to repeat the successful landing of Super Heavy again, as well as a soft planting of Ship. But with the two degrees of the largest and most powerful rocket in the world, there were problems before launching, and therefore 10 seconds before the start of flight into space was canceled. SpaceX did not specify what happened and when the second attempt will take place to hold the eighth Starship flight.

At the same time, Ilona Maska's representatives reported that the next start -up attempt will take place in the near future if all the problems are eliminated. During a new mission, the Ship Space Ship should fly half of the earth after entering orbit, launch a set of fictitious Starlink satellites, and then drive in the Indian Ocean near the coast of Australia. Starship is a huge multiple space rocket that is designed for manned and unmanned missions for the moon and Mars.

The first test flight of the rocket took place in April 2023. Ilon Musk is a supporter of the flight to Mars, where he has long dreamed of creating a whole extraterrestrial city with a population of one million people. Recently, as focus wrote, the SpaceX owner stated that it is necessary to direct all efforts to Mars and deeper space, and therefore should be deduced by the International Space Station for operation much earlier, not in 2030.
