Elon Musk new update after Starship's first launch debut ""EXPLOSION""...
WHOA WHOA WHOA, WHAT?! DID YOU SEE THAT?!
With a mighty roar, the integrated Starship rocket soared toward space today from SpaceX's seaside Starbase facility at Boca Chica Beach here on South Texas' Gulf Coast at 8 a.m. EDT.
The launch went beautifully than ever before, the fire of the engines matching the orange glow of the sunrise in South Texas.
“Starship launches off the pad under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster’’, SpaceX also shared on X after the launch!
The spaceship soared over the Gulf Coast, with all 33 engines in the rocket booster pulsing. High in the sky, the vehicles separated seamlessly—through a technique that SpaceX debuted during this flight—and employees let out wild cheers.
The Super Heavy booster appeared to perform normally during its ascent, without any obvious failures of its Raptor engines, unlike the first flight in April where several Raptors shut down.
Starship then ignited its six engines and separated from the booster about 2 minutes and 45 seconds after liftoff, testing a new “hot staging” technique where engine ignition takes place before stage separation to improve performance.
Super Heavy then planned to perform a “boostback” maneuver to prepare for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. However, at about 3 minutes and 30 seconds after liftoff the booster broke apart in what SpaceX called a “rapid unscheduled disassembly.” The cause for the breakup was not immediately clear, although SpaceX hosts of its launch webcast noted that one purpose for the flight was to test how the booster could manage the stresses from the hot staging.
"We're going to take that data and improve the hot staging sequence and probably improve the hardware itself for the next flight," SpaceX quality engineering manager Kate Tice said during the live webcast. SpaceX had hoped to soft-land the Super Heavy in the Gulf of Mexico to test reentry and landing processes.
The Starship continued to ascend, with a planned engine cutoff eight and a half minutes after liftoff. However, near the end of the burn contact with the vehicle was lost. At the time of the loss of telemetry, Starship was at an altitude of 148 kilometers and going more than 24,000 kilometers per hour, close to orbital velocity.
