Starship launch today at 6:30

SpaceX owner Elon Musk will conduct the second test of the world's most powerful Starship vehicle at 6:30 pm on Saturday. Earlier the launching date was decided on November 17, but it was postponed by a day due to a fault in the grid fin.

Musk said, "The grid fin actuator will have to be replaced, so the launch has been postponed to Saturday."

Grid fins help the rocket booster return to Earth. Starship spacecraft and super heavy rockets are collectively called 'Starship'.

Starship will go into space and then return

This mission will last for 1:30 hours. Live streaming will be started 30 minutes earlier i.e. at 6:30 pm. The starship will be taken into space, then brought back to Earth and landed on water. It is a reusable transportation system. Through this, Musk wants to send humans to Mars.

The schedule is given below:

00:00:02- Liftoff

00:00:52- Max Q (peak mechanical stress on the rocket)

00:02:39- Booster MECO (Most Engines Off)

00:02:41- Hot-Staging (Starship Raptor Ignition and Stage Separation)

00:02:53- Booster BoostBack Burn Startup

00:03:47- Booster BoostBack Burn Shutdown

00:06:18- Booster Transonic (Speed ​​of Sound- 1185 Km/hr)

00:06:30- Booster Landing Burn Startup

00:06:48- Booster Landing Burn Shutdown

00:08:33- Starship Engine Cutoff

01:17:21- Starship Entry

01:28:43- Starship Transonic

01:30:00- An exciting landing!

The Starship exploded shortly after its launch on April 20

Earlier, the first orbital test of the Starship was conducted on April 20. Booster 7 and Ship 24 were launched in this test. However, just 4 minutes after takeoff, the Starship exploded 30 kilometers above the Gulf of Mexico. Even after the failure of Starship, Elon Musk and employees were celebrating at SpaceX headquarters.

This is because the rocket itself flying from the launch pad was a big success. The starship made of stainless steel has been built by SpaceX, the company of the world's richest businessman Elon Musk. This is the tallest and most powerful rocket in the world. Elon Musk had also said two days before the launch of Starship – Success may be achieved, but excitement is guaranteed.

SpaceX had said that even before the separation stage, a part of it suddenly separated, although it was not fixed. What we learn with a test like this leads to success. Today's test will help us improve the reliability of Starship. The teams will continue to review the data and work toward the next flight test.

Learning from the first flight, SpaceX upgraded the vehicle and ground infrastructure for the second flight. This time the company will use a hot-stage separation system and a new electronic thrust vector control (TVC) system. Apart from strengthening the pad foundation and water-cooled steel flame deflector, several other upgrades have also been made.
