SpaceX started booster engines superheavy rockets star ship the first time for a static fire test.

The prototype, known as Booster 7, will be responsible for propulsion star ship on what will be his first orbital flight very soon.

Everything is fine

The test, which took place at the Starbase facility in SpaceX in South Texas, only one of 33 Raptor engines from superheavy, This was reported by representatives of the company on Twitter.

The engine fired up while Booster 7 remained tethered to the orbital launcher in a test known as static fire.

System star ship comprises superheavy and a 50 meter high upper stage spacecraft, also called Starship. Both items are designed to be completely reusable and both will run on the next generation Raptor which is much more powerful than the Merlin engine it uses. SpaceX with its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.

On the other hand, the prototype Starship 24 she also had static fire with two of her six engines.

path to orbit

SpaceX is likely to do a lot more testing before it approves Booster 7 and Ship 24 for a historic orbital launch.

Capsule, propeller attached superheavy, take off from an American starbase.

After leaving the Earth’s atmosphere, the booster will separate and return to its launch tower, being captured by the arms of the launch tower.

Musk He said the booster would spend a total of six minutes in the air, two on ascent and four on the way back. In the future, the system can be reused every six to eight hours for three launches per day.

While the capsule star ship It will continue to fly in Earth orbit, trying to make a complete revolution, until it lands in Hawaii. In addition, animation SpaceX not only shows it on Earth, but also on Mars, with a view of future human colonies on this planet.
