Resume de l’article : Avec le 4ème décollage de la mégafusée Starship, SpaceX vise un vol mieux contrôlé

Cet article de Sciences et Avenir discusses SpaceX’s fourth test flight of its Starship spacecraft, which was a « hop » test that lasted around 4 minutes and reached an altitude of around 12.5 kilometers. The test was aimed at testing the spacecraft’s ability to control its descent and landing, and it was considered a success. However, the spacecraft ultimately exploded during the landing process. Despite this, SpaceX considers the test a success because it was able to gather valuable data about the spacecraft’s performance and the behavior of its Raptor engines. Overall, the goal of these test flights is to develop a spacecraft capable of carrying out missions to the Moon and Mars.
