SpaceX Starship’s Fifth Flight Delay, Landings Off The Coast Of Australia and Heat Shield Upgrades
Hello friends,
Welcome back to another episode by Engineering Today and hope you’re all having a great time.
The news is that SpaceX is talking with U.S. and Australian officials to land and recover one of its Starship rockets off the coast of Australia. This could mean a bigger presence for Elon Musk’s company in the region, aligning with the stronger security ties between the two countries.
After a successful Starship splashdown in the Indian Ocean in June, SpaceX wants to expand its testing. These landings and recoveries are key to the fast development of their reusable rocket, which is meant for satellite launches and lunar missions.
So, SpaceX plans to launch Starship from Texas, land it in the sea near Australia, and recover it in Australia. This would require easing U.S. export controls on advanced space technologies.
