SpaceX计划于2026年春季捕获星舰上级火箭
摘要
继第11次成功试飞后，SpaceX计划于2026年春季利用发射塔臂捕获星舰上级火箭，以提升航天器的可重复使用性。
SpaceX宣布计划最早于2026年春季利用其发射塔臂——被称为“筷子”——捕获星舰上级火箭。此举紧随星舰第11次成功试飞之后，该次试飞从位于得克萨斯的星基地发射，完成了所有主要任务目标。在此次飞行中，超级重型助推器在墨西哥湾实现了软着水，而上级火箭则进行了轨道点火，部署了模拟的星链卫星，并在印度洋上空以受控方式再入返回。即将进行的捕获动作旨在提升星舰系统的可重复使用性，这是SpaceX降低发射成本、增加发射频率战略的关键组成部分。该公司一直在开发星舰，用于月球和火星任务，以及部署大量卫星进入轨道。SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克在社交媒体平台X上回应询问时确认了该计划，表示发射塔捕获尝试定于“春季”进行。这一进展标志着星舰系统实现快速可重复使用迈出了重要一步。
