Kathy Leuders, general manager of the Star Base of SpaceX, shared the details of when the company used the tower-type grasping arm to grab the second-class rocket.In October this year, SpaceX first caught the "overweight" booster with the launch tower and created history.This achievement is very amazing, especially the first attempts successfully caught the booster-many industry observers have doubted this result.

Ledes revealed in a event last week that SpaceX plans to catch the second -class Rockets at some time next year, and launch as many as 25 Star -ware spacecraft missions in 2025EssenceThis year is vital to the development of "Starcraft", because it will also test the transfers of space pushing agents to develop a key ability to develop a key capability for the National Aeronautical Aviation Administration (NASA).Essence
In a speech at the Conaces 2024 conference, Leuders shared that SpaceX is taking measures to ensure that the "interstellar spacecraft" is safe when they enter the orbit.According to her, SpaceX must continue to learn and reach the test milestone in order to eventually perform the task of going to the Mars and Mars.
When talking about the historic "Star Tower" tower relay, Leuders shared that it is important to send the helper back to the scene, because this can make SpaceX "get the" interstellar interstellar "The spacecraft landing lens in its location and get the heat data of the aircraft ".
It is a major achievement with the transmitted tower to catch the overweight booster, but it is even more important to catch the superior spacecraft.This is because although the helper is larger than the spacecraft, the spacecraft returns from a higher height.Therefore, the risk of abnormal or unexpected components in the second -stage interstellar ship is even greater.

At the end of the speech, when asked when SpaceX could connect the second -class "Starburizer" with the towerThis attempt may be in 2025.She outlines that the upcoming Star Shipping flight, including the 6th flight on November 18th, "is the key task we continue to understand Starcraft flight dynamic.Control.Hope to be completed in the next six months ", Leuders said.SpaceX and Elon hope that in 2025 "perform 25 tasks per year" and "perform 100 tasks in the next few years".Musk hopes to launch a "interstellar ship" several times a day to form an unprecedented rocket launch rhythm.
In the next few months, SpaceX will also perform the "Star Space Ship" task to launch a second -generation upper -level rocket.The top fins of this rocket have been redesigned, and the pictures provided by the local media also show that the pushing agent capacity of this spacecraft may be greater than the previous generation.
