Ship 42 will attempt landing back at Starbase Texas, after deploying V3 Starlink satellites and completing multiple orbits. Booster 22 will attempt RTLS landing back at Starbase Texas as well.

#IFT15 update.
SpaceX is planning to attempt the landing of both Ship 42 and Booster 22 back at Starbase Texas, after putting V3 Starlink satellites into orbit. The first time that an entire orbital launch vehicle has attempted to return to its launch site.

#SpaceX #Starship #ElonMusk

Elon Musk-ek elkarrizketa batean baieztatu duenez, 15. hegaldian ( #IFT15 ) #Starship -a eta #SuperHeavy -a plataformaren besoekin harrapatzen saiatuko dira.
Eta dena ondo badoa, 16. hegaldian ( #IFT16 / #Starlink30 -1) bi etapak berrerabiltzen saiatuko dira.

#Espazioa

ESAren #Hera zundak lehen aldiz detektatu du bere helburua, #Didymos sistema, gutxi gorabehera 236 500 km-ra.

#Starship-aren hurrengo bi hegaldiak:
Azaroak 8: #FLT15 edo #IFT15 ( #B22 / #S42)
Abenduak 10: #Starlink30 -1
