SpaceX为第十次飞行测试准备星舰于星基地

摘要

SpaceX已将其星舰上部推进段运至位于德克萨斯的星基地发射台,准备在预计于八月进行的第十次飞行前进行测试。

SpaceX已将其星舰上部推进段移至位于南德克萨斯的星基地发射台,为飞行第十次任务前的测试做准备。该公司于7月28日分享了这艘171英尺高的航天器被安置在发射台上的照片,但尚未确认具体发射日期。SpaceX首席执行官埃隆·马斯克最近表示,预计飞行将在下个月进行。

星舰系统在与其超级重型助推器完全组装时高达400英尺,设计为完全可重复使用,旨在执行包括火星探测在内的任务。目前的上部推进段是为第十次飞行准备的第二个版本,此前的航天器在6月18日的一次测试台爆炸中损毁。SpaceX确认事故可能原因是位于航天器鼻部附近的加压氮气罐失效。

近期星舰测试飞行面临挑战,上部推进段在今年1月、3月和5月的三次任务中均遗失。与此同时,超级重型助推器在早期飞行中成功返回星基地,尽管在第九次飞行的着陆尝试中解体。随着SpaceX为即将到来的发射做准备,新星舰上部推进段的测试预计将继续进行。
