La FAA suspend les vols du Starship de SpaceX suite à l'incident du 22 mai

La Federal Aviation Administration a ordonné une interruption des vols du Starship de SpaceX le temps d'enquêter sur un incident survenu lors du lancement du 22 mai.

Le Starship V3 de SpaceX a rempli la majeure partie de ses objectifs de test, mais le booster Super Heavy n'a pas réussi son amerrissage en douceur. Après la séparation des étages, le booster a effectué un retournement directionnel et a tenté une poussée de retour, mais il n'a pas pu allumer tous ses moteurs et a interrompu la poussée prématurément, ce qui a entraîné un amerrissage brutal dans le golfe du Mexique. Le Starship lui-même a amerri comme prévu dans l'océan Indien.
