Following the success of SN15 landing, SpaceX now plans to try to fly the Starship prototype to orbit. In submission with the Federal Communication Commission (FCC), the company details how he hopes the next flight flight will be revealed.
According to documents, the craft of the spacecraft equipped with a super heavy booster will be appointed from Boca Chica, the Texas launch facility. About three minutes into flight, the booster stage will separate and spread in the Gulf of Mexico about 20 miles from the beach. Starship rocket will pass the Florida Strait before entering the orbit and then returns to earth and tries to make a soft ocean landing around 62 miles from the northwest coast of Kauai. If everything goes according to plan, all flights from the beginning to finish must take around 90 minutes to finish it.
Before SN15, all Spacex Starship test flights have ended with one of the super heavy rocket prototypes that explode. The flight is an important step for SpaceX. And if the company can successfully carry out this last test, it will be much closer to realizing its vision using Starship to transport human to the moon and its surroundings. It will also be an important show that NASA is right to trust spacex to deliver the Starship Lunar Sea which can be used in time for the upcoming artemist project mission.
