The eighth test flight of the starship<\/p>\n<p>The first-stage recovery was successful, but the second-stage reentry failed. On March 6, local time, SpaceX performed the eighth test flight of the Starship. The rocket was successfully launched at 18:31 Eastern Time on the 6th.<\/p>\n<p>The live broadcast of the Space Exploration Technology Company showed that after launch, the first-stage booster of the rocket was once again recovered from the launch tower. When it landed, it was &#8220;clamped&#8221; by the mechanical arm on the launch tower and &#8220;captured&#8221; in mid-air for recovery. However, the rocket&#8217;s second-stage spacecraft subsequently lost contact with the ground team, and the spacecraft&#8217;s live broadcast was interrupted.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Starship spacecraft V2 has experienced two consecutive reentry failures, and both missions failed to complete the scheduled &#8220;Starlink simulation satellite deployment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What is even more frustrating is that the reason for the failure of the eighth flight is likely to be the same as that of the seventh flight, which comes from pipeline leakage caused by resonance, which means that SpaceX may not be able to reproduce this problem for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>(picture:<\/p>\n<p>Starship\u2019s eighth test flight Source: SpaceX<\/p>\n<p>\uff09<\/p>\n<p>Collection!<\/p>\n<p>Commercial aerospace industry financing projects<\/p>\n<p>We will carry out &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Commercial Space Project Financing Roadshow<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Activity aims to provide a platform for display and capital docking of innovation and entrepreneurial projects in the commercial aerospace field, promote the implementation of industrial innovation, and accelerate the industrialization process of innovation results.<\/p>\n<p>This solicitation is fully open to enterprises in the upstream, midstream and downstream industrial chain of commercial aerospace, covering multiple fields such as new materials and new processes, parts manufacturing, complete satellites and rockets, satellite applications and services.<\/p>\n<p>This roadshow will invite domestic<\/p>\n<p>well-known investment institutions,<\/p>\n<p>Angel investors,<\/p>\n<p>Industrial Investment Group,<\/p>\n<p>local government<\/p>\n<p>\/<\/p>\n<p>Produce<\/p>\n<p>industrial park<\/p>\n<p>There are over 100 professional investors.<\/p>\n<p>, and submit your financing BP.
