Following the unsuccessful mission in January SpaceX on Thursday launched its eighth Subbodious Test Test Fully Integrated Starship Megarokey, the Combination of the Upper Ship (S34) and the Super -The -Falling Star (B15), at Starbase in Starbase Beach Boko Chico, Texas.
Unfortunately, the story happened when the top stage Starship entered space, just began to spin uncontrollably before losing contact and torn, sending the garbage that cascade back to the ground at the beginning of Thursday.
One of the target flight was to catch a super heavy amplifier using sticks on Run the tower, which was completed successfully.
“During the ascent ascension ascension, the vehicle survived a quick disassembly, and the contact was lost. Our team immediately started coordination with security officials to implement pre-planned emergencies,” the Spacex said. “We will look at the data from today’s flight to better understand (the first cause. As always, success comes from what we find out, and today’s flight offers additional lessons to enhance Starship’s reliability.”
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk did not comment on after launch, as of 7:45 pm

SpaceX’s averages, which were broadcast during the launch, said the controllers had lost contact with the ship, noting that the trash response plan acted and the control of the air movement “retained public safety.”
“We fly to find out,” said the broadcast.
The upper scene had to be the coast in space for about 40 minutes before performing a soft splash in the Indian Ocean.
For several Florida airports, a ground stop was issued, including Miami International, from the space launch of the garbage, the Federal Aviation Commission reports.
As of 7:45 pm, Miami remained justified, and Fort -Lodard/Hollywood International reported the delay of departure from the garbage.

Upon completion of the January investigation, a similar stars ship at the beginning of its seventh flight, several equipment and operational changes were made to enhance the reliability of the upper stage, the company reports.
During the test in January, all but one of the Starship engines, performed controlled by the shutdown sequences, which led to the loss of communication with the ship.

The flight on Thursday followed the same suburbital trajectory as previous missions, but focused goals that did not reach the previous test, including the first deployment load and multiple re -level experiments aimed at returning the upper stage.
During the flight, Starship was scheduled for deployment of four STARLINK simulators, similar in size for the next generation Starlink. It was expected that they would disappear at the entrance. Raptor was planned and the coming engine in space.
It is unclear whether these operations were completed before the vessel lost from the top stage.

The test also included several experiments focused on providing the top Starship stage at the starting location.
Some of the experiments included: removing a “significant number” of tiles to vulnerable tension; several variants of metal tile to determine which will protect the ship during re -entry; non -structural versions of the Starship fitting to check thermal work; Both smoothing and narrowing of the tile section to eliminate hot spots observed during the re -entry on the sixth flight test.

Super -the heavy amplifier was updated by Avionik, including a more powerful flight computer, improved power and network and integrated smart batteries.
The company noted that “different criteria of the car and gaskets” should be fulfilled before the return and catch of the super -itus amplifier.
To return, the ship needed healthy systems on the boosters and towers, as well as the final management of the Mission flight.

“If this command is not sent until the Boostback Burn completion, or if automated health checks show unacceptable conditions with Super Geavy or Tower, the default booster will be mild splashing in America,” the company said.
“We do not accept any compromises when it comes to ensuring the security of the public and our team, and the bouter return will only happen if the conditions are correct,” the company writes.

The supreme amplifier slowed at supersonic speeds, which led to sound sound stir in the area around the landing area.
“In general, the only impact on those who are in the sound of the sound boom is a short thunderstorm with variables such as the weather and the distance from the return point that determines the value of observers,” the company reports.

“Testing development by definition unpredictable”, Space wrote. “But by putting the flight equipment as often as possible, we can quickly learn and perform changes in design when we seek to bring Starship online as a completely and quickly multiple vehicle.”
