SpaceX’s Starship sees another failure in ninth test flight despite progress

The Spacex Starship Flight 9 trip has ended in failure – it is not the only journey of the company.

Since its first launch in April 2023, Spacex has witnessed a mixture of failed and successful launch operations. Although every launch does not succeed, the company often says that “success comes from what we learn.”

The first flight test in Spacex began with success, as the spacecraft wiped the tropical panel for the first time. However, Starship has seen a multiple interruption of the engine, losing height and began to stumble. At this point, according to Spacex, “The flight ending system was directed to both the supporter and the ship.”

The company faced another case during the first trip test, exceeding what the Spacex Livestream flights described as “a rapid dismantling, not scattered.” While the missile was built to be reusable, no part of the missile was recovered.

Months of the first flight test failed, SpaceX launched again the vehicle. While Spacex celebrated a number of major landmarks with this launch and Starchipone saw it beyond the first trip, it still ends in failure.

Starship was successful in this second test, but separation from the super heavy supporter ended in an explosion. Despite this early end, SpaceX ranked the same chapter and heavy heavy maneuver in a successful supporter. Again, the spacecraft witnessed “a quick, non -linked disassembled”.

The third stars test trip was the first to be considered success. In his third test, he met the same major landmarks as the first two, and eventually went beyond any of his predecessors.

As the first successful experimental trip, Starship managed to try the first re -inserting it into the Earth, which gave Spacex “valuable data on heating and controlling vehicles during high -sound entry.”

Celebrating the success of the company, the founder of Spacex Elusk pledged that “Starship Humanity will take to Mars” after the test trip.

The fourth test of Spacex was also successful from taking off to re -enter. In addition, Starlink managed to capture a high -resolution video throughout each stage of re -entering, according to Spacex.

“Flight 4 ended with its three engines in the RAPTOR Center and the implementation of the first maneuver of maneuvering and landing since our campaign without the entrance, followed by a soft splash from the ship in the Indian Ocean after an hour and six minutes of launch.”

Musk celebrated in a post on the X, saying that although the “Starship” lost “many tiles” and ends up with a “damaged flap”, the spacecraft succeeded in its soft landing in the ocean.

In the fifth airline test of the paragraph, the company has achieved a landmark where mechanical weapons in Mixella successfully seized the heavy supporter, making the re -use design closer to reality. Musk praised the achievement as “a scientific imagination without the imaginary part.”

Spacex celebrated a successful test in a post on X, saying that the ability to ever and return is “basic techniques” for StarsHip designable to reuse.

president Donald Trump’s reaction was at the time at the time during a campaign in Arizona a few weeks before the 2024 elections. Trump told a crowd of supporters that he “saw nothing like him.” He jokingly said that the supporter needs a new job for paint, which is “much cheaper than building a new job.”

More than a month after the impressive Spacex completion during its launch in October 2024, the company witnessed another successful launch, but it did not implement a site at the launch site as it did with the fifth test trip.

Not all the supportive fishing standards were met, which led to a decision not to pass this step, according to PBS, who cited SACEX Dan Hawut spokesman. The director added that HUOT did not mention any specific problem. However, Spacex says on her launch web page that the supporter had withdrawn from a “planned conversion maneuver” before spraying it in the Gulf of America.

In the first trip test in 2025, Spacex witnessed the experience of other “non -scheduled” jaw championships. Since the upper vehicle’s upper stage was burning ascending to space, Spacex lost about eight and a half minutes on the test trip.

Despite the problems related to Starship Stage Stage, the super heavy supporter achieved a successful decline and was arrested again in Launchpad.

On the seventh test trip, Starship was carrying fake satellites planning for SpaceX for its use to launch it, according to Reuters. In addition, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was briefly forced to slow the flights that could have been on the road to the tournament, despite the ultimate resumption of regular operations.

Musk seemed to take a step, and he writes on X that “success is not certain, but entertainment is guaranteed!”

The eighth test of StarsHip ended when several engines failed, and Spacex lost its connection to the spacecraft after about nine and a half minutes of its launch. Ultimately, the spacecraft exploded off the coast of Florida.

Although the trip was a failure, Spacex managed to carry out a successful enhanced fishing for the third time.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the test had affected 240 flights, more than twenty of them were forced to shift due to concern for debris, according to Reuters. In addition, FAA released more than an hour in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Palm Beach.

In total, there were 171 delaying departure, 28 trips were transferred, and 40 air -portable trips were held for 22 minutes on average. The port said that the average delay time for trips was 171 was 28 minutes.

The ninth poverty test has ended in Spacex. The task aims to deploy eight sterilinks and a re -entry test with 100 thermal shield tiles that have been intentionally removed.

The beneficial load door failed to open it during the trip. Any parts of the plane that did not disintegrate when the entry landed in the Indian Ocean.

Despite the failure, Musk noticed a “great improvement” since the last StarsHip trip as the craft reached the scheduled engine. In addition, he said that “there was no significant loss in the heat shield tiles while ascending.”
