SpaceX Starship SN10 Lands Successfully and Explodes after 5 Mins

SpaceX Starship SN10 Lands Successfully and Explodes after 5 Mins. SpaceX’s latest Starship prototype landed on Wednesday for the first time after carrying out a high-altitude test flight in Texas — but exploded minutes later on its landing pad. The rocket, an early test version called SN10, demonstrated a few complex dances in mid-air before clinching a soft touch down, aiming to nail a key milestone in Elon Musk’s campaign to build a fully reusable rocket system.

After aborting an initial launch attempt earlier in the day, the prototype lifted off at 6:14pm ET and soared 6 miles above SpaceX’s Boca Chica, Texas facilities. Unlike the last two tests with SN8 and SN9, which launched successfully but exploded on their landing attempts, SN10 stuck a lopsided landing on a slab of concrete not far from its launchpad, appearing to survive its daring landing manoeuvre for a few moments before being consumed in a fireball.

The launch test’s main objective was to demonstrate the computer-controlled movements of the rocket’s four aerodynamic flaps that steer its descent before landing, SpaceX engineer and live stream host John Insprucker said during the company’s broadcast.

At the end of its climb to 6.2 miles, each of the rocket’s three Raptor engines gradually shut down to prepare for a brief free-fall back to land, reorienting itself horizontally with its “belly” facing the ground.

Then came the “belly flop” manoeuvre. The rocket’s three engines reignited to swoop itself into a vertical position for landing.

SN10 slowly descended on its landing pad, softly touching down but leaning slightly to the side. Insprucker declared it a success on SpaceX’s live feed: “Third time’s a charm, as the saying goes. We’ve had a successful soft touchdown on the landing pad.”

“As a reminder, the key point of today’s test flight was to gather the data on controlling the vehicle while reentering, and we were successful in doing so,” he said.

The SpaceX live feed ended before SN10’s explosive demise. Another feed, provided by the website NASA Spaceflight, kept the cameras rolling and captured the fireball, which lofted the 16-story-tall rocket back into the air before crashing back down on its side.

Musk tweeted at 7:35PM ET to celebrate that SN10 landed “in one piece,” but jokingly noted two minutes after that the rocket had an “honourable discharge.”

Starship is SpaceX’s next-generation, fully reusable Mars rocket system designed to ferry crews of astronauts and 100 tons of cargo on future missions to Earth orbit, the moon and eventually Mars. The last three prototypes SpaceX has test-launched are early versions of the top half of the full Starship system, whose bottom half is a reusable super-heavy booster powered by an array of SpaceX’s new Raptor rocket engines.

BOCA CHICA, Tx. – As the saying goes, “the third time is the charm,” and that much was true for SpaceX as the company sent another interplanetary spaceship prototype flying high above the Texas coast Wednesday but this time it survived the landing attempt only to explode minutes after a successful landing.

Elon Musk’s company is churning out Starship test vehicles in Boca Chica, Texas at the company’s facility and most recently began testing the launch and landing capabilities in daring flights.

After two previous high-altitude flights of Starship prototypes ended in fiery explosions, it was Serial No. 10, or SN10, up on the chopping block.

SN10 took off at about 6:14 p.m. ET powered by three Raptor engines, reaching about 6 miles up. Next, each engine shut down one by one as the vehicle slowly began to orient itself horizontally for the descent. Then Starship began its descent in a belly flop using its four wings or flips, to control itself. The drop looks straight out of science-fiction even after the third time seeing it.

These high-altitude flights and now landings are part of the plan to test SpaceX’s interplanetary transportation system.

Fastest turn around time ever, for a spacecraft. Relaunched within minutes.

😢Failure is the key of success, try again. Love❤️ from India🇮🇳

[abhishekpratap]

I don't why people are making fun of it, it's a great achievement successfully landing it and I guess that was the priority. They are doing what no one could have thought of doing in their wildest dreams. If you think you can achieve greatness without failure in path 👏👍

[walstanbaptista]

So you've got 5 mins to clear starship after it lands

[KingPorchoua]

This is why they do a lot of test before they actually have people in those rocket.

[jayeshshertate]

well they landed..thats what they wanted to do...now they work on stability post landing.

[Happy_times_-em]

If you watch the touchdown closely, it lands very hard and bounces, I think something ruptured at this point, you can see fire at the pad level on landing

[thooke]

It emphasizes the importance of a hasty de-spaceshipping when you ride that thing to Mars.

[khudaydus]

A need for stability is done. But in my view, I think the problem comes from the high temp not cooled very nice or the dwell time required to ignite the cooling system needs for fix

[madogmabz]

How will this land on Mars without a landing pad that is totaly level.Who will build or how will the landing pad even be Built?any ideas?

[Mauricejs]

hopefully that don't happed with people. got 5 min to rush out the ship

[ebpaulg]

fantastic job of landing it successfully vertically without losing stability, monumental achievement. Little bit of sth is somehow is missing. All the best.

[showcase-me]

SN10: You'll never take me (boom)

[lou_-husu]

it was actually 9 minutes after it landed, not 5

[juliomotorsikloatibapa]

Gathering complex data with trials and errors will lead into success, hardship and dedication of space X will unlock the impossible mission. Keep up! Mars we are coming soon

[YesWilson]

That commentator really enjoyed the explosion, you can tell from his laughter 🤣🤣🤣

[madogmabz]

So the landing pad on Mars would have to he built before the spaceship could get to Mars .why would they waste time testing ships to get to Mars landing vertical if they don't have a place to safely land it?

[malapris]

The Starship is a sucessful and a cutting edge design. More advanced spaceships will follow this trend in the SpaceX business.🤞🤞Finally, I know Elon Musk must have deliberately triggered this explosion😂 because he does not like it but wants a new one that is more advanced than this rather than spending so much effort on refurbishing it.🔥🔥

Go SpaceX🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
