On 24th July SpaceX held a test Flight for it’s new Starhopper and a live stream was also arranged for it, unfortunately at the time of launch the top of Rocket caught fire, but thanks to the hard stainless steel material from which the Rocket was made it remained preety much unscratched.
On July 25th SpaceX tested it’s Rocket again, this time the vehilce hovered 65ft above the ground for about 15 seconds before it landed back on the ground. Althougt the vehicle didn’t get very high, but for a test flight it was dramatically good.
It was powered by SpaceX new Rocket Engine Known as “The Raptor”. This vehicle is a test prototype of the Starship.
The Powerful Raptor Engine will power both stages of the Starship Rocket. The First(upper) stage will be the SpaceX Starhopper spaceship that can send upto 100 people to the Moon and Mars.
The Second(lower) Stage will be the Falcon Heavy Booster containing 35 Raptor engine’s and extra space for two more Raptors to send the payload(starhopper) into space.
SpaceX plans to launch satellites using Starship in 2021. It also plans to send Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa on a round trip to the Moon in 2023.
CEO Elon Musk says that they will try another test in about a week or two that will fly almost about 650ft high.
