SpaceX's Starship V3—still a work in progress—mostly successful on first flight
摘要
SpaceX于周五成功进行了升级版星舰火箭及超重型助推器的首次试飞。这枚由33台甲烷燃料主发动机驱动的巨型火箭高408英尺，从德克萨斯州发射升空，约一小时后在印度洋预定区域溅落。此次星舰V3的首飞表现优于2023年和2025年星舰V1和V2的首次飞行，后两者均在发射过程中解体。
SpaceX launched the first test flight of its upgraded Starship rocket and Super Heavy booster Friday, with mostly positive results.
The powerful rocket, propelled by 33 methane-fueled main engines, climbed away from SpaceX's Starbase launch facility in South Texas at 5:30 pm CDT (6:30 pm EDT; 22:30 UTC) Friday. Within a few seconds, the 408-foot-tall (124-meter) rocket, the largest ever built, cleared the launch tower and turned onto an eastward heading over the Gulf of Mexico.
Starship splashed down on target in the Indian Ocean a little more than an hour later to conclude the first flight of the latest version of SpaceX's stainless steel mega-rocket. Starship V3 fared better on its debut than the first flights of Starship V1 and V2 in 2023 and 2025. Both past versions of Starship broke apart during launch on their inaugural flights.
