Until officials interfere with the holding of high-rise STARSHIP SN9 flight, StarShip SN10 was rolled out on the test area. This is a really impressive spectacle when you see the Zarnitsa of a new cosmic era, in which one ship will be sent to the colonization of the planets of the solar system.
Yesterday from the high hangar rolled out on the starting platform, the collected test article StarShip SN10. Now the playground in Boca-Chik, although it is essentially a test, but more and more like a real cosmodrome. Yes, who are now on the starting area of the Starships, this is just the test products on which the reliability of fuel, motor systems is checked, the landing maneuver is being worked out, and at best their fate is to stay in the museum. But this gives an idea that it will be about two years. And it is inspiring and beautiful.
Head Spacex Ilon Mask previously said that he plans to turn a small village of Boca-Chik in the "Gate to Mars", from where the fleet from hundreds of planetes will colonize the red planet.
In 2019, Mask said: "It seems that reasonable life and consciousness is a very rare and precious thing, and we must take all possible steps to preserve the light of consciousness. Only now, 4.5 billion years later, this window was open. You will have to wait long, and maybe he will not stay open for a long time ... I am quite optimistic for nature, but there is some likelihood that this window will be open for a short time, and I think that we should become a multidimensional civilization while this is open.
I see how now lovers are all shifting to recall the episode with New Vasyuki from the "twelve chairs", and re-start comparing Ilona with Ostap. But those who do it only show their envy, weakness, and notchness. They themselves are not capable of anything, and only from the envy try to bring those who found courage and methods to implement their ideas that will be guided for all mankind.
Despite the non-too damstone work of officials of the department, which gives good to the implementation of high-altitude test flights, work in Boca-Chik is around the clock. Two prototypes, STARSHIP SN9 and STARSHIP SN10, already on the starting area, and in production buildings are work on the assembly of products SN11 (ready for 90%), 15,16,17,18, as well as the prototypes of the SUPER HEAVY pH - BN1 (ready 90%) and BN2.
On the prototype Starship SN9, 6 static engines had already been held, according to which two engines were replaced, and the ship is in principle, it is already fully prepared for a high-voltage test flight by 10-12 km. But as mentioned above, everything is inhibited by the fault of officials of the Federal Aviation Department (FAA), which for some reason decided to "slow down" tests. And the mask is very annoyed.
Ilon Mask: "Unlike its aviation unit, and this is normal, the FAA space division has a fundamentally impaired regulatory structure. Their rules are designed for several launches of consumables per year with several government objects. According to these rules, humanity will never get to Mars. "
I suppose that even these bureaucratic obstacles will be removed, and the tests will continue not because I want to bureaucrats, but because it is ready for this technique. Everyone remembers the historical first test flight of StarShip SN8. Despite the fiery final, the flight gave Spacex developers a lot of invaluable information about the operation of fuel systems, engines, an algorithm for entering the landing maneuver. With each new flight prototypes, StarShip will be polished all the moments and details of equipment and flights.
Spacex say: "SN9 will perform a pressure swap in the inner tanks, which contain fuel to landing before reorienting the inlet to the atmosphere and the controlled aerodynamic descent. The STARSHIP prototype will be descended under active aerodynamic control, carried out due to the independent movement of two front and two feed closures on the ship. All four flaps are powered by an on-board computer to control the StarShip position during the flight and provide an accurate fit in a specified location. The Raptor SN9 engines are then turned on when the prototype tries to perform the malloon with a coup before touching the landing site next to the launcher. "
Spacex expects that they will be able to spend high-rise flight StarShip SN9 on Monday, February 1st. This says that local authorities have already begun to prepare for the overlapping of roads in Cameron County, near Boca Chik. Reserve date of test flight on February 2.
As soon as the countdown and Spacex will launch the official broadcast, it will appear on our channel.
P.S.
In the meantime, the tests of elders are preparing and held and held, craftsmen, with the help of a 3D printer, set up the production of accurate copies of STARSHIP models. It really looks cool and beautiful. Models created by STARSHIP3D are worked out with maximum accuracy. Probably someone in the near future to establish the production of children's designers - prefabricated models of StarShip.
