What makes SpaceX's Starship so special?

Image credit: SpaceX Introduction SpaceX is developing its Starship, which is a launch vehicle to send cargo into orbit or planets and transport humans from Earth to Earth or from Earth to Mars or from Earth to Moon or literally anywhere! It has 2 stages, and both of them are reusable, which is something no one has done before. That will make it a fully reusable two-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. The booster is called Super Heavy. As the name suggests, the booster is very large and huge, and of course, very powerful. The booster is around 72m tall, which is already taller than the Falcon 9. The Falcon 9 or Falcon Heavy only stands at around 70m high. The Starship (both the upper stage and the whole vehicle has the same name, and in this Starship I am mentioning now is the upper stage) has a height of 50m, equivalent to a 16-story-tall building. Image credit: Everyday Astronaut Starship (upper stage) has fins, to control its descend and perfor...

New Footage! The all-new Falcon 9 booster for CRS-22 mission launched and landed successfully!

Launch of Falcon 9 on June 3 Image credit: Greg Scott On June 3 2021, CRS-22 mission launched successfully to bring new equipment and experiments to the International Space Station. The mission was flown with a Dragon 2 spacecraft (uncrewed). The spacecraft is full of new scientific experiments and more! Even CubeSats are on board. Image credit: NASA Learn more about what it brought here The booster that flown this time is new! That's why it's all white and not sooty black. The booster is B1067 and it worked perfectly. Here is a short video of its launch: Video of Falcon 9's launch on June 3.

SpaceX's 22nd Commercial Resupply Mission Will Bring Interesting Stuff and Animals Into Space!

SpaceX's 22nd Commercial Resupply Mission (CRS-22) which is scheduled to launch no earlier than June 3 , will send water bears , squids and new solar panels to the International Space Station. Tardigrades , also known as water bears will be sent to the International Space Station to research on how different environmental conditions affect tardigrade gene expression. The results could advance understanding of the stress factors affecting humans in space and support development of countermeasures. The bobtail squid , Euprymna scolopes, will also be studied in the International Space Station. This investigation helps determine whether spaceflight alters the mutually beneficial relationship, which could support development of protective measures and mitigation to preserve astronaut health on long-duration space missions. A virtual reality tool, Pilote , will test the effectiveness of remote operation of robotic arms and space vehicles using virtual reality and interfaces base...
