SpaceX successfully launches Starship for the fifth time... Aiming to recover the second stage booster by early next year

 

 

 

 

SpaceX successfully recovered the first stage booster, the 'Super Heavy Booster,' during the fifth test launch of Starship on the 13th.

This recovery was conducted vertically using the robotic arm 'Mechazilla,' which is considered a key step in SpaceX's pursuit of a fully reusable spacecraft system.

On the 15th, Elon Musk shared on social media, "I hope to recover the second stage booster of Starship by early next year."

However, specific details about the method for recovering the second stage or the location of the robotic arm installation have not yet been disclosed.

Currently, the second stage booster of Starship completes its mission by landing in the ocean after orbital flight.

If Musk's plan to recover the second stage booster succeeds by early next year, it would mark the first recovery of Starship's second stage.

The schedule for the sixth launch has not been confirmed, but SpaceX's goal is to make Starship a fully reusable spacecraft.

Through this test launch, SpaceX has taken another step closer to developing reusable technology that maximizes cost efficiency and effectiveness in space travel and exploration.
