haqqin.az carefully follows the ambitious plans of Ilona Mask and their implementation. As it became known, the founder of Spacex said on Saturday that the first set of StarShip rocket with an accelerated Super Heavy unit for an orbital flight should be ready for flight in the coming weeks, which will make the original billionaire one step closer to his dream about orbital, and then interplanetary journey .
In May, Spacex after launching the StarShip SN15 prototype successfully landed it, and now it stands on the verge of the start of a multi-sighted rocket carrier of a huge load capacity.
Ambitions I. Mask are known – the biggest and most severe rocket in the world will be able to deliver astronauts and large freight goods and on the moon, and on Mars.
It must be said that the successful May planting of the prototype occurred after the previous four attempts to land the prototype ended with explosions.
But the billionaire-dreamer Nothing can stop.
“The first orbital bunch of StarShip must be ready for the flight in a few weeks, it remains only to obtain the permission of the regulatory authorities,” wrote a mask in his twitter.
The full StarShip complex, with a new generation of Spacex carrier, reaches 120 meters in height. In the first stage of this cosmic monster mounted a super heavy accelerator. It is these engines – in the center of ambitions of the General Director of Tesla Inc, who wants to make space travels for a person more accessible and routine.
Starship orbital flight is not far from the mountain, and Mask has once again announced that it intends to send Japanese billionaire-entrepreneurs to Yusaka Maedzavava, to fly around the moon on board StarShip in 2023.
According to thealphacenaury.net, the construction of a giant on a cosmodrome in Boca Chika (now known as Starbase) went all summer. A huge maintenance tower mounted on the starting complex consists of 8 sections.
The same accelerator on the rocket carrier is 29 engines, with a lifting force of 6 thousand 670 tons! In the future, Mask plans to equip Super Heavy 33 engines.
On the starting table, the SN20 prototype with 3 Raptor and 3 engines are mounted at the top of the entire space object, which will be needed for maneuvers in orbit.
Start will occur in Boca-Chik, and then the flight StarShip will pass over the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Landing is planned in waters near Hawaii.
