Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, November 16 (Xinhua)-- the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has just released official approval documents for the second orbital flight attempt of the Starship super heavy launch vehicle, determining that SpaceX meets all safety, environmental, policy and financial responsibility requirements.

This means that the second comprehensive test of SpaceX starship / starship / starboat will take place at 21:00 Beijing time on November 17, when CTOnews.com will bring you more details. Please look forward to it.

SpaceX says it has made a lot of improvements to the rocket since its first launch in April, and the weather on Friday looks perfect for launch.

The second flight test will introduce for the first time a thermal stage separation system and a new Electronic thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for ultra-heavy Raptor engines, as well as base reinforcement and water-cooled steel flame deflectors, as well as many other enhancements.

Schedule:

The starship began its first flight on April 20 this year, but an accident occurred about four minutes after the mission, and ground controllers were forced to issue self-destruct orders. The starship did not immediately respond to the order, causing dangerous delays over the Gulf of Mexico.

The explosion caused several serious problems, including severe damage to the launcher, wildfires, impact on local wildlife and debris scattered over hundreds of acres.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concluded its investigation into the failure of the starship launch in September and submitted a list of 63 corrective actions to the SpaceX to ensure its next starship launch license.

Since the first launch of the starship, SpaceX has made a number of changes to the launch pad, including steel reinforcement under the launcher and a new sprinkler system to suppress the power of the ship's 33 Raptor engines.
