by SpaceX said on Sunday that it had canceled a test flight of his Starship rocket and led a problem with the starting site.
“Stand from today’s tenth starship flight to give time to fix a problem with soil systems,” said the company on the X.
What else do we know about the canceled Starship start?
The rocket was to start from the company’s Starbase in South Texas and would have marked the tenth mission from the location.
The start should be carried out at 6:30 p.m. local time (11:30 p.m. GMT), but was derived only 15 minutes before withdrawing.
On Sunday, the SpaceX founder Elon Musk posted on Sunday on his X platform “Starship 10 Starting tonight”.
SpaceX did not say if there would be another attempt to start.
The canceled start is the latest setback for Musk’s company.
This year, two starship tests failed at the beginning of the flight, another place in space, and a “static fire” test led to a floor explosion in June.
What do we know about the Starship rocket?
The massive rocket of the spaceship rocket is an integral part of Musk’s plans to bring people to Mars.
At the beginning of this year, Musk said that the spaceship would leave Mars in late 2026 while a humanoid robot was worn. He said he believed that human landings could continue between 2029 and 2031 at a certain point in time.
The rocket is 403 feet high and is designed in such a way that they are completely reusable.
SpaceX’s approach “Fail Fast, Learn Fast” has contributed to becoming the world’s dominating starting service provider. Setbacks with a spaceship have shown doubts as to whether the company can repeat the success with the large rocket.
