The fifth test of the world's most powerful rocket starship was successful. In this test, a super heavy booster sent 96 km above Earth was brought back to the launch pad, which was captured by Mexilla. The maxilla are two metal arms that look like chopsticks.
The starship re-entered Earth's atmosphere and made a controlled landing in the Indian Ocean. When the starship entered Earth's atmosphere, its speed was 26,000 kilometers per hour and the temperature reached 1,430 °C.
Starship was launched yesterday i.e. October 13 at 05:55 PM from Boca Chica, Texas. Starship spacecraft and super heavy rockets are collectively called 'starships'. The Starship has 6 Raptor engines, while the Super Heavy has 33 Raptor engines.
The Super Heavy Booster was brought back to the launch site and caught after being carried 96KM above Earth
During the entry of the starship into the Earth's atmosphere, the speed was 26,000 kilometers per hour and the temperature reached 1,430 ° C.
The starship re-entered Earth's atmosphere and landed in the Indian Ocean. It's called a splashdown.
