Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, September 6 (Xinhua)-- with the completion of a series of launch and return missions in September, SpaceX is now preparing for its next starship / starship test flight.

The SpaceX completed the combination of the super heavy rocket primary booster (Booster 9) and the starship (S25), followed by a series of tests and wet rehearsals, and then waited for FAA approval for the second flight test.

It is worth mentioning that SpaceX conducted a static ignition test of the Starship Super Heavy B9 booster at the end of last month, and Musk said, "We will get to Mars one day."

During this test, all but two of the 33 Raptor engines completed the test normally, and the static ignition generated about 3600 metric tons of thrust.

The starship is SpaceX's next-generation space transport system designed to transport people and cargo to the moon, Mars and other places. The prototype is nearly 400ft high. (CTOnews.com Note: about 122m).

SpaceX completed a full flight test on April 20 this year, but that mission was unsuccessful, and several problems occurred shortly after takeoff, and SpaceX sent self-destruct instructions to destroy the aircraft over the Gulf of Mexico.

Of course, despite the failure of the test mission, the rocket managed to reach the stage separation point before the self-destruct system was launched, exceeding initial expectations.

The launch on April 20 also caused considerable damage to the orbital launch pad of the interstellar base and the surrounding facilities. To prevent this from happening again, SpaceX installed a water spraying system-a water-spraying steel plate-under the launch pad, designed to reduce the huge energy generated by 33 Raptor engines in ultra-heavy rocket boosters.
