2020 год стал для SpaceX самым успешным в 18-летней истории компании. Несмотря на пандемию она установила рекорд по количеству запусков – 26, среди которых не было неудачных. Crew Dragon дважды доставила астронавтов на МКС. Строительство космического корабля Starship значительно продвинулось вперед. Наконец, SpaceX стала оператором самого большого созвездия спутников для раздачи интернета и начала его опытную эксплуатацию.

As early as Friday, January 9, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude suborbital flight test of Starship serial number 9 (SN9) from our site in Cameron County, Texas. The schedule is dynamic and likely to change, as is the case with all development testing. This live feed will start a few minutes prior to liftoff.

This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN9 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size.

With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn as a whole, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.
