SpaceX luncurkan kapsul kargo Starfall ke orbit

SpaceX mengirimkan kapsul demonstrasi untuk sistem rahasia Starfall mereka ke orbit Bumi rendah dari Cape Canaveral, Florida. Peluncuran ini menandai uji coba awal teknologi yang ditujukan untuk mengembalikan kargo yang diproduksi di luar angkasa.

Kapsul tersebut meluncur sekitar pukul 06.50 waktu setempat dengan menumpangi roket Falcon 9. Tahap pendorong mendarat di sebuah platform di Samudra Atlantik setelah pemisahan. Starfall dirancang untuk membawa hingga satu ton muatan dalam kendaraan ringkas tanpa jendela dengan lebar sekitar tiga meter. Kapsul ini terdiri dari bagian muatan dan pelindung panas serat karbon yang menggunakan gas terkompresi untuk kemudi selama proses masuk kembali ke atmosfer. Penilaian Administrasi Penerbangan Federal yang diterbitkan pada bulan Mei mendeskripsikan proyek ini sebagai sarana yang memungkinkan pengangkutan dan pengiriman barang melalui luar angkasa. SpaceX telah menyatakan bahwa sistem ini akan mendukung penelitian ilmiah dan manufaktur di luar angkasa. Belum ada detail lebih lanjut yang dirilis mengenai waktu kapsul tersebut di orbit atau rencana pendaratannya di Samudra Pasifik sejauh 1.300 kilometer dari lepas pantai California.
