The starship was successfully captured by giant manipulators for the first time after a flight into space.
For the first time, SpaceX was able to capture the Starship spacecraft with the giant mechanical "arms" of the launch tower. This happened after a 22-hour test flight, during which the ship launched 26 Starlink satellites into orbit.
However, the Super Heavy Launch Vehicle could not be returned. Due to a deviation from the intended trajectory, it was sent into the Gulf of Mexico, where it exploded before splashing.
It was the 15th test launch of Starship, the system SpaceX is developing for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
