LIVE: SpaceX makes a new attempt to launch the Starship rocket

After the Super Heavy propellant, the refueling of the Starship is already underway, Space X reported.

“Super Heavy propellant fueling is underway,” he wrote on Twitter.

Fueling is a key moment prior to takeoff, since many damages usually occur or are detected during this operation.

Until now, the tallest rocket in history was the Saturn V of the lunar missions Apollo, with 110.6 meters. “Because of her size and ability to carry scientific instruments even into deep space, Starship will enable a whole new class of science missions,” according to Musk.

He Super Heavy provide to 17 million pounds of thrust at launch, which is roughly double that of Apollo-era rockets.

The Starship and the Super Heavy are totally reusable and the entire system is designed to bring more than 100 tons of payload to the surface of the Moon or Mars in order to start building space colonies.

propeller height Super Heavy Rocket and the ship starship It is 120 meters, the diameter is 9 meters, and it can load 100 to 150 metric tons of cargo, extendable to 250 tons.

The Starship team has also built the world’s tallest rocket capture and launch tower almost 146 meters high.

Moments ago, SpaceX shared a new update on Twitter.

“The Starship team is ready to load the fuel; the team is attentive to the weather,” the company wrote.

The 62-minute launch window will open at 8:28 a.m. (1:28 p.m. HMT) Texas time and close at 9:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. GMT), reported SpaceX.

A few hours ago the company shared some evocative images of the spacecraft on its launch pad at sunset.

The super rocket designed to transport people to Earth orbit, the Moon and Mars is based at Starbase, on the Texas coast, and consists of a fully integrated ship (Starship) and propellant (Super Heavy Rocket).

Elon Muskfounder of SpaceX, gave the last update 7 hours ago.

“All systems currently green for launch,” he wrote.

Musk had previously cast some doubt on whether the launch would actually take place today.

“The team is working relentlessly on many issues,” Musk tweeted late on Tuesday. “Maybe on 4/20, maybe not.”

The expected takeoff of starship rocket space company SpaceXconsidered the most powerful ever built, could not be held this Monday for technical problems from billionaire Elon Musk’s company facility in Texas and is delayed until at least Wednesday.
