Mars colonization is postponed. Ilona Mask Megarageta exploded during flight into space (photo)

Despite the unsuccessful second test flight of SpaceX, the company believes that they have made progress. On Saturday, November 18, there was a second test launch of Starship rocket system from SpaceX, consisting of a Super Heavy rocket launcher and Starship spacecraft. Although the ship successfully separated from the launch vehicle in the air, an unknown anomaly emerged in a few minutes and SpaceX engineers had to launch a system of destruction of two stages of the rocket.

Although it all ended in an explosion, the launch system launch process and the process of separating two stages of the rocket was impressive, according to the photos, Space writes. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel. Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! The most powerful rocket in the world, which creates 2 times more craving than NASA SLS rocket has failed to finish the second test flight.

After launching, the Starship spacecraft had to be separated from the Super Heavy rocket and make a 90-minute flight in space, and then return to the ground. But SpaceX engineers, after the anomaly was found in the work of both the comic ship and the rocket launcher, undermined both degrees of the rocket system. During the first launch of April 20, the Starship Missile system, which was also unsuccessful, engineers also blew up the rocket in the air after identifying problems.

SpaceX says such unsuccessful tests are still progress and will help identify the shortcomings that can be eliminated for the next test. At the same time, in a few months after the test in April, SpaceX engineers made some changes to the design of the Starship missile system. The company Ilona Mask hopes that the information collected during the investigation of the incident will help to do everything you need to make the third test flight successfully.

In any case, this flight lasted longer than last time and the spacecraft flew further. But the Starship test launch itself became a truly stunning sight, which was recorded by many photographers. The pictures show the startup process, the rocket system lifting and the process of separating two degrees. It is worth saying that SpaceX first conducted a test of new technology to the ship from the rocket-carrier during this test flight.

The spacecraft launched its engines before separating from the rocket launcher, which was not last time. According to Kate Tais from SpaceX, despite the unplanned explosive ending of Starship's test flight, it was an "incredibly successful day", as many important data were obtained to help improve the rocket system. SpaceX has high hopes on Starship, as this rocket is designed to send astronauts not only for a month, but also on Mars and other worlds of the solar system.
