SpaceX tested the starship again, but the booster failed to return to the launch site for recovery as planned and fell into the Gulf of Mexico.
[News Channel Now] The launch mission of the American space technology company SpaceX of the heavy launch vehicle Starship was frustrated, and the booster failed to recover as planned.
The starship is carrying 26 new-generation Starlink V3 satellites, which were launched from a base in South Texas on Friday afternoon. More than two minutes later, as it exited the atmosphere and entered space, the starship and booster separated, but technical problems forced SpaceX to abandon the plan to recover the booster. Guided by the crew, the booster fell into the Gulf of Mexico and exploded and caught fire.
The starship will fly in an orbit about 275 kilometers above the Earth's surface and will launch and deploy Starlink satellites. He will then return to base and be captured and recovered using the tower's robotic arm.
