Meanwhile, the Starship rocket coasted along its planned trajectory to the other side of the planet before performing a controlled re-entry and landing in the Indian Ocean 1 hour, 5 minutes, and 40 seconds after launch. SpaceX has already received approval for Starship Flight 6.
Mechazilla’s successful retrieval of the Super Heavy booster is a major milestone, not only for SpaceX’s mission to make life multi-planetary with a fully and rapidly reusable launch vehicle but for the spaceflight industry as a whole. It’s also a massive boon for SpaceX’s other endeavours.
SpaceX plans to use Starship to launch next-generation Starlink satellites into orbit, which the company says will allow for gigabit download speeds anywhere in the world on its satellite internet service. “We got one step closer to that reality today with an amazing Flight 5,” Michael Nicolls, VP of Starlink Engineering at SpaceX, said in a tweet. There are more than 400,000 Starlink customers in Canada.
