SpaceX Starship SN15 10km High Altitude Test Flight 🔴 LIVE

Показать описание

Starship SN15, equipped with three sea-level Raptor engines will attempt a high-altitude hop at SpaceX's development and launch site in Boca Chica, Texas. For this test, the vehicle will ascend to an altitude of approximately 10km, before moving from a vertical orientation (as on ascent), to horizontal orientation, in which the broadside (+ z) of the vehicle is oriented towards the ground. At this point, Starship will attempt an unpowered return to launch site (RTLS), using its aerodynamic control surfaces (ACS) to adjust its attitude and fly a course back to the landing pad. In the final stages of the descent, two of the three Raptor engines will ignite to transition the vehicle to a vertical orientation and perform a propulsive landing.

The flight profile is likely to follow closely the previous Starship SN8, Starship SN9, Starship SN10, and Starship SN11 hop tests (hopefully with a slightly less fiery landing). The exact launch time may not be known until just a few minutes before launch, and will be preceded by a local siren about 10 minutes ahead of time.

Love your video, review and general style. Easy-going and pleasant. Also very informative and fun. Subscribed

For me what turned me into a space nerd was being on the beach in Florida in 1970 as a kid from Atlanta Georgia, where I still reside and watching the launch of Apollo 13. I've been hooked ever since

Sn 11 has been the best landing so far as it landed in multiple places😁😁😁

John was so happy that he said the crew 2 capsule was resilience and the crew 1 capsule endeavour

That looks a lot like the Buck Rogers rocket ship I saw in the movies as a child.

Wow, thank you for your stream. Awesome landing. Great!

that was fabulas, glad i watched it on your we get back to trying to land boosters in the simulater again now?

This is the first successful as this was the first time space x actually wanted to land it and did, all other attempts they just wanted info on other parts of the flight, landing was just a bonus before this flight

How many flights has this booster done?

Didnt they say were going land with one engine

By solving this small methane leak, Starship can make a 100% perfect and safe landing! I believe that the great stress caused by the strong power of the Raptors plus the high vibration that these engines cause is causing some sealing seal not to support the work proposed to it, if that is an engineering problem easy to solve even more with the competence of SpaceX engineers. I remember that these types of problems can only determine and reach them with real tests of operation, that is why we have the construction of several prototypes .... Congratulations SpaceX!
