 Everything after clearing the tower was icing on the cake

星舰从2019年3月开始到今天,flight test是第10次,一步一个脚印。

今天的试飞也是第一次将第一级Super Heavy(超重型推进器)与第二级 Starship(星舰)连接后试飞。

 高度已经到达分离位置,分离没有成功。数据拿到后,就可以调整和改进了。

Starship achieved lift-off and cleared the tower, however, during an unsuccessful separation of the Starship 24 and SuperHeavy Booster 7 stages, which required the rocket to spin to reorient itself, the spacecraft entered an uncontrolled spin. SpaceX then engaged the onboard flight termination system resulting in a commanded destruction of the vehicle at T+ 3:59.

This was the first flight where Starship and Super Heavy flew stacked.

 

摘录了两段今天的直播视频,目前为止的各种试飞,每一步都是前进。。。

Vehicle Launch site[b] Flight apogee Duration
- 3 April 2019 Starhopper Launch site, Boca Chica, Texas <0.3 m (1 ft) ~3 seconds
The first firing of Starhopper and the first tethered hop (according to Musk[46][47]). The burn was a few seconds in duration and the vehicle was tethered to the ground. The vehicle might have lifted off the ground, but only to a very small height, and it was not possible to see the lift off in public video recordings of the test.[47][48]
- 5 April 2019 Starhopper Launch site, Boca Chica, Texas 1 m (3.3 ft) ~5 seconds
Tethered hop which hit tether limits. Used a single Raptor SN2 engine.[1]
1 25 July 2019[49] Starhopper Launch site, Boca Chica, Texas 20 m (65.6 ft)[2] ~22 seconds
First free (untethered) flight test. Single Raptor engine, SN6.
2 27 August 2019 22:00[3][50] Starhopper Launch site, Boca Chica, Texas 150 m (492 ft)[3] ~1 minute[51]
Single Raptor engine, SN6. Starhopper was retired after this launch and used as a water tank at the production site.[3][52][53]
3 4 August 2020 23:57[54][55] Starship SN5 Suborbital Pad A, Boca Chica, Texas 150 m (492 ft)[54] ~45 seconds
Used a single Raptor engine, SN27.[56] Second 150-meter hop, and first hop of a full Starship prototype.[4]
4 3 September 2020 17:47[57] Starship SN6 Suborbital Pad A, Boca Chica, Texas 150 m (492 ft)[58] ~45 seconds
Used a single Raptor engine, SN29. Third 150-meter hop, and second hop of a full Starship prototype.[57]
5 9 December 2020[59] 22:45 Starship SN8 Suborbital Pad A, Boca Chica, Texas 12.5 km (41,000 ft)[60] 6 minutes, 42 seconds
Three Raptor engines, SN30, SN36, and SN42.[61] The vehicle successfully launched, ascended, performed the skydive descent maneuver, relit the engines fueled by the header tanks, and steered to the landing pad.[60] The flip maneuver from horizontal descent to vertical was successful. However, a sudden pressure loss in the methane header tank caused by the flip maneuver reduced fuel supply and thrust, resulting in a hard landing and destruction of SN8.[60]
6 2 February 2021[62] 20:25 Starship SN9 Suborbital Pad B, Boca Chica, Texas 10 km (32,800 ft)[63][62][64] 6 minutes, 26 seconds[64]
Three Raptor engines, including SN45 and SN49.[64][65][66][67] A Raptor failed to start due to a problem with its oxygen-rich preburner,[citation needed] causing SN9 to over-rotate and hit the landing pad. The vehicle was destroyed by the impact forces and explosion.
7 3 March 2021[68][69] 23:15 Starship SN10 Suborbital Pad A, Boca Chica, Texas 10 km (32,800 ft)[70] 6 minutes, 24 seconds[71][c]
SN10 experienced a non-destructive hard landing with a slight lean after the landing and a fire near the base of the rocket,[74] and then exploded eight minutes after landing.[undue weight? ][70] SN10 did not deaccelerate enough, resulting in a hard landing damaging some legs and crushing part of the skirt. The cause was probably due to partial helium ingestion from the fuel header tank.[72]
8 30 March 2021 13:00[75] Starship SN11 Suborbital Pad B, Boca Chica, Texas 10 km (32,800 ft)[76] ~6 minutes[75]
SN11 launched in heavy fog, and had engine issues during ascent (according to Elon Musk).[77] Telemetry was lost at T+5:49, shortly after one engine appeared to be ignited for the landing burn and at an estimated altitude of around 600 meters.[78] Debris were then seen falling from the sky, indicating that the vehicle had exploded just above the landing site.[79] Elon Musk stated that a "relatively small" methane leak caused a fire on one of the Raptor engines which damaged it, causing hard start attempting landing burn and destruction of SN11.[80]
9 5 May 2021 22:24[81] Starship SN15 Suborbital Pad A, Boca Chica, Texas 10 km (32,800 ft)[82] 5 minutes, 59 seconds
SN15 was a new iteration of prototype Starship with many upgrades over previous vehicles.[83] SN15 launched in overcast weather and achieved a soft landing, with a small fire starting near the base shortly after landing. The post-flight fire was out within 20 minutes, and SN15 was retired by the end of the month.[84][85]
10 20 April 2023 00:33 Starship S24/B7 Orbital Pad, Boca Chica, Texas 39 km (127,953ft)[86] 4 minutes
Starship achieved lift-off and cleared the tower, however, during an unsuccessful separation of the Starship 24 and SuperHeavy Booster 7 stages, which required the rocket to spin to reorient itself, the spacecraft entered an uncontrolled spin. SpaceX then engaged the onboard flight termination system resulting in a commanded destruction of the vehicle at T+ 3:59. This was the first flight where Starship and Super Heavy flew stacked.
