developed in china Tianlong-3 The rocket, named ‘The Rocket’, took off by escaping during static firing and fell to the ground after rising for a while. crashed.
Rocket model that has the ability to land vertically like SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Tianlong-3 The final first stage test for normally one It was a static firing test. In other words, within the scope of this test, it was intended to test the developed launch systems and engines of the rocket without performing a real launch. However, things did not go as desired in the China-based test and The rocket suddenly separated from the ramp and took off. The rocket developed by Space Pioneer includes nine different kerosene-powered rockets. TH-12 It rose with its engine until it ran out of fuel and then crashed to the ground. Happily, the incident in which no one was injured was one of the most interesting events related to space in recent years. You can watch the video showing the process in the X post below:
Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China’s Space Pioneer. That’s catastrophic, not static. The firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months. https://t.co/BY9MgJeE7A pic.twitter.com/L6ronwLW1N

The last thing that made a splash in the rocket world was SpaceX Falcon Heavy. The 10th mission was recently completed with the powerful rocket. Falcon Heavy, It is the company’s most powerful commercial rocket. It has 27 Merlin 1D engines. Heavybasically brings together three Falcon 9s. The rocket, which is the most powerful today with 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, is on its final mission The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) successfully launched the weather/climate-focused GOES-U satellite into orbit. SpaceX recently launched the world’s most powerful rocket (a total of 39 different Raptor engines combined) SpaceX Starship He had made the fourth takeoff for .
First stage taking off Super Heavy then returned without any problems and landed vertically. Later, Starship itself made a vertical landing without any problems. Elon Musk said, “Despite the loss of several thermal shields and a damaged wing, Starship managed to make a soft landing on the autonomous platform in the ocean. “I congratulate the SpaceX team for achieving an epic success.” he said. Considering the fourth attempt, it was generally successful. The third SpaceX Starship takeoff attempt was a significant success for the company, unlike other attempts.
