SpaceX’s Starship SN11 rocket has proven that just reusing a spacecraft doesn’t have to be a fad. To launch at the Moon and Mars one day, the company is actively making changes to the rocket and testing several tests accordingly. In preparation for the launch of the latest test, officials in Cameron County, Texas have already been asked to close roads. When is the launch date of SN11?
SN11 launch date
According to officials, the SpaceX Starship test is expected to take place near Boca Chica City on Friday, March 26 at 8 a.m. EDT for more than 12 hours. Cameron County Judge Eddie Trevino Jr. said in his statement that he has been ordered to close Boca Chica Beach and Hwy 4 to protect Public Health and Safety during the SpaceX engine test and 10 km flight. He also explained that the public should be careful to keep a safe distance from the beach so that they can see the flight if they wish.
The SN11 rocket is the 11th prototype of Starship in addition to the other three prototypes previously launched ie SN8, SN9 and SN10 rockets. The SN10 rocket was recently launched and was almost a success with its arrival at the watch but it exploded later. Since then, the company has been making changes to the model to improve its performance, thus bringing the SN11 rocket to life.
The Starship SN11 rocket is 165 feet high (50 meters) with a huge lift called a Super Heavy that carries astronauts and gears to outer space. Like its predecessors, the latest space rocket is also powered by three Birds of Prey engines as they plan to launch to an altitude of 6.2 miles (10 kilometers) and maneuver twice, one time to come back to our planet and the next thing, to land with more control. . In addition to SpaceX, NASA is also designing prototypes after prototypes for Starship as part of the Artemis program. SpaceX’s release has caught the attention of many including the billionaire Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa who has already signed up for a trip to the moon. That mission, called dearMoon, aims to launch in 2023.
