SpaceX genomför till största del framgångsrik första flygning med Starship V3

SpaceX sköt upp sin uppgraderade Starship-raket på dess första testflygning under fredagen från södra Texas och lyckades med en kontrollerad landning i Indiska oceanen efter över en timmes flygning.

Den 124 meter höga farkosten lyfte klockan 17:30 CDT från uppskjutningsanläggningen Starbase och nådde en maximal höjd på 195 kilometer. Den skickade ut 20 test-Starlink-satelliter och demonstrerade ett förbättrat nyttolastsystem innan den återinträdde i atmosfären och landade på målplatsen, där dess värmesköld och klaffar presterade väl under hela nedstigningen.
