SpaceX Starship Flight Test Ends With a Bang – Video

Speaker 1: [00:00:30] Three seconds. The check flight of the inaugural begins the car tower cleared window, a pitch over Propulsor reviews first stage engine Noal. What a, the inexperienced cameras began flying [00:01:00] twice the thrust of the identical flag. The

Speaker 2: Christ

Speaker 1: Throttled down. He throttled again up going by the interval of most aerodynamic stress. So velocity will increase the density. The environment is reducing.

Speaker 2: [00:01:30] Max Q lessening

Speaker 1: Stress on the car. The decision out Max Q. Now persevering with to look at the primary stage as we head down vary 100 seconds into flight. Our subsequent main exercise is gonna be [00:02:00] shut down of the primary stage Houston monitoring station. Now buying the car with shutdown, we are going to get separation of Starship and tremendous heavy and ignition of the Starship engines. When star shift separates, we mild up six engines in a staggered sequence and if all goes nicely, these six engines will burn for nearly six and a half minutes onboard view from Starship and there is views of the Raptor engines on the [00:02:30] second stage as we put together for stage separation. Now after stage separation, the primary stage will flip and start a lift again maneuver for touchdown within the Gulf. Persevering with to fly two minutes, 40 seconds. Let’s prepare for predominant engine cutoff [00:03:00] starting to flip for state separation.

Speaker 3: [00:03:30] As of proper now, we’re awaiting stage separation the place a Starship ought to separate from the tremendous heavy booster.

Speaker 1: Yeah, Kate, proper now it seems like we noticed the beginning of the flip, however clearly we’re seeing from the bottom cameras the complete Starship stack persevering with to rotate. We must always have had separation by now. Clearly that is, [00:04:00] uh, doesn’t look like a nominal state of affairs.

Speaker 3: Yeah, it does look like spinning, however I do wanna remind everybody that the whole lot after clearing the tower was icing on the cake

Speaker 4: There and promised inaugural

Speaker 5: [00:04:30] Everybody right here completely pumped to clear the pad and make it this far into the check mild. The primary built-in flight of the booster and the Starship car

Speaker 3: Stay view there of our management heart at Star Base. Wow. Which we confer with as [00:05:00] Star Command <chuckle>. As we stated earlier than, clearly we wished to make it throughout, however to get this far actually is wonderful. <chuckle>.
