SpaceX engineers may have underestimated the damage that Starship’s 33 first-stage rocket engines would do to its launch siteFlying chunks of concrete, twisted metal sheets, craters blasted deep into the ground: the thunderous power of SpaceX’s first test flight of Starship – the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built – inflicted serious damage on its Texas launch site.Repairing the damage
IIT-Indore, in partnership with NASA-Caltech and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, has designed an inexpensive camera setup that can capture multispectral images of four chemical species in a flame using a single DSLR camera. Previously, capturing such images required a complicated system with four cameras, but this new setup can simultaneously capture multiple spectral three-dimensional
SpaceX’s giant new rocket blasted off on its first test flight Thursday but exploded minutes after rising from the launch pad and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
A previous experimental launch of SpaceX Starship spacecraftElon Musk’s first Starship launch faced a massive blow during the first integrated flight test when the vehicle exploded with the super-heavy booster still attached to the Starship spacecraft. The commentators said that the vehicle experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly which in other words means a blow up of the rocket.The vehicle
