Résumé

Suite au 11e vol d'essai réussi, SpaceX vise à attraper l'étage supérieur de Starship à l'aide des bras de sa tour de lancement d'ici le printemps 2026, améliorant ainsi la réutilisabilité du vaisseau spatial.

SpaceX a annoncé son intention d'attraper l'étage supérieur de Starship à l'aide des bras de sa tour de lancement, appelés « baguettes », dès le printemps 2026. Cette initiative fait suite au 11e vol d'essai réussi de Starship, qui a décollé de l'installation Starbase au Texas et a atteint tous les objectifs majeurs de la mission. Lors de ce vol, le propulseur Super Heavy a effectué un amerrissage en douceur dans le golfe du Mexique, tandis que l'étage supérieur a réalisé une combustion en orbite, déployé des satellites factices Starlink, puis est revenu avec une rentrée contrôlée au-dessus de l'océan Indien.

La prochaine manœuvre d'attrapage vise à améliorer la réutilisabilité du système Starship, un élément clé de la stratégie de SpaceX pour réduire les coûts de lancement et augmenter la fréquence des lancements. La société développe le véhicule Starship pour des missions vers la Lune et Mars, ainsi que pour le déploiement d'un grand nombre de satellites en orbite.

Elon Musk, PDG de SpaceX, a confirmé le plan en réponse à une question sur la plateforme sociale X, indiquant que la tentative d'attrapage par la tour est prévue pour le « printemps ». Ce développement marque une étape importante vers l'obtention d'une réutilisabilité rapide pour le système Starship.
