SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has shared ambitious plans to try to 'catch' the mega rocket after Starship's fifth launch.
Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has shared ambitious plans for Starships’s fifth launch. The mega-rocket is slated to complete its next test launch sometime in July, following a successful fourth launch earlier this month. This time around, though, Musk says the company plans to try to “catch” the rocket on its way back down using massive robotic arms, allowing it to reuse the Super Heavy rocket.
The star of the tower is a set of robotic arms which will try to catch the rocket during Starship’s fifth launch attempt. SpaceX Starship reveal. SpaceX says that after liftoff, the two stages will separate in flight. At that point, the Super Heavy rocket will return to the launch site, where it will reiginate its engines to slow the vehicle down, and then the arms on the tower will attempt to catch it before it re-stacks onto the orbital launch mount.
