A 120-meter rocket reaches the sky from a site in Boca Chica in Texas. The first stage of the detachment procedure was successfully completed and splashed down into the Gulf of Mexico.

The American company SpaceX of businessman Elon Musk made the fourth launch of the Super Heavy launch vehicle using the Starship spacecraft. This was confirmed by the online broadcast of the launch on Thursday, June 6.

A 120-meter rocket reaches the sky from a site in Boca Chica in Texas. Later, the procedure for disconnecting the first stage was carried out. He successfully splashed into the Gulf of Mexico.

Currently, the Starship’s flight continues as usual in Earth orbit. Further, the Polish program envisages that the ship will re-enter the atmosphere and explode in the Indian Ocean. This testing phase is not over yet.

We remind you that on March 12, the Starship made its first flight into space, but it did not return to Earth – the ship crashed during the descent.

In 2023, two previous attempts to launch the Starship had ended in failure. But the information received helped SpaceX avoid mistakes in the third launch.

In May of this year, Elon Musk said that the goal of the fourth Starship launch was for the ship to go beyond the last time.

SpaceX developed the reusable Starship spacecraft for deep space missions, including the Moon and Mars. The rocket system consists of two parts: the Super Heavy launch vehicle with 33 Raptor engines and the Starship spacecraft. The height of the rocket is 120 meters. This is higher than any other rocket ever built in the world. The Super Heavy is also twice as powerful as the Space Launch System (SLS) heavy rocket that NASA built for manned flights to the Moon.
