SpaceX “efficiently” landed a excessive altitude test flight of their Starship SN10 Wednesday morning and it became so incredibly completed it looks esteem CGI. Like so extra special esteem CGI if it wasn’t SpaceX it’s likely you’ll doubtless well perchance doubtless 100% bear in mind this became faked pictures.
Akin to the excessive-altitude flight tests of Starship SN8 and SN9, SN10 will be powered via ascent by three Raptor engines, each and every shutting down in sequence sooner than the vehicle reaching apogee – roughly 10 km in altitude. SN10 will place a propellant transition to the interior header tanks, which withhold touchdown propellant, sooner than reorienting itself for reentry and a managed aerodynamic descent.
I put “efficiently” in quotes because even supposing it caught the touchdown, it did finally blow up about 8 minutes after touchdown whereas sitting quiet on the touchdown pad. It is unclear what precipitated the explosion, nevertheless I’m assuming it determined to celebrate its get accomplishment by turning itself into a massive firework.
Retain going for the complete fantastic test flight as nicely as pictures of the explosion later. Skip to the touchdown at 11: 40 and account for me it would no longer stare esteem it came out of a low funds sci-fi film.
And the explosion at 08: 26: 13? of this video:
And every other perspective of the touchdown with the time between touchdown and explosion compressed:
