加入T客邦Facebook粉絲團4月20日消息,特斯拉CEO埃隆•马斯克(Elon Musk)旗下太空探索技术公司SpaceX刚刚点火发射了新一代运载火箭星舰(Starship),这也是它的首次轨道飞行测试,但没能成功。21点35分,星舰在得克萨斯州布朗斯维尔(Brownsville)郊外的SpaceX试验场发射升空,随后在空中发生爆炸。SpaceX表示,星舰和推进器未能分离。
4月17日晚间,星舰在原定发射时间将到来时宣布推迟,理由是压力阀似乎冻结。当时,马斯克还发文称“学到很多,几天后再来。”
这次发射任务至关重要,它不但关系到马斯克的火星梦,还会影响美国的重返月球计划。按计划,在星舰发射约8分钟后,其助推器将坠入墨西哥湾。而飞船仓将继续飞行,直至达到约150英里(约240公里)的高度,绕地球飞行一段时间后,重新进入大气层。
如果一切顺利,在发射约90分钟后,飞船仓将重返大气层,坠入考艾岛(Kauai)以北约62英里(约100公里)处的太平洋。虽然助推器和飞船仓都可以回收重复利用,但这一次SpaceX不会进行回收。
重返大气层将考验飞船的空气动力学操纵的能力,以及隔热能力,以承受它在垂直穿过大气层时产生的强烈摩擦。马斯克说:“飞船将像流星一样驶来。这也是它未来多次飞行的漫长旅程的第一步。更多的助推器已经在发射场待命,用于未来的试飞。”
星舰是SpaceX的新一代运载火箭,总高度约120米,由底部70米高、配备33台猛禽发动机的超重型推进器,以及顶部50米高、可重复利用的飞船舱组成。其终极目标是搭载宇航员前往月球和火星。
SpaceX自2019年以来就在开发星舰,并对多艘原型进行了测试,而这一次是它的首次轨道飞行测试,旨在为SpaceX提供大量有价值的信息,以尽早让星舰正式投入运营。
根据SpaceX的设想,“星舰”是一种完全可重复使用的运输系统,可以将航天员和货物运送到地球轨道、月球、火星等地。美国“太空”网站称,此前保持“人类最大运载火箭”称号的是冷战期间用于“阿波罗”登月计划的美国“土星五号”火箭,它高约111米,可发射约130吨有效载荷进入地球轨道,将约50吨有效载荷送往月球。NASA表示,“太空发射系统”可将27吨以上的载荷送入月球轨道。相比之下,完全可重复使用“星舰”的近地轨道运载能力约为150吨。在不考虑回收的情况下,“星舰”有效载荷高达250吨-300吨。
SpaceX公司CEO马斯克曾表示,与专门用于载人登月的“土星五号”和“太空发射系统”不同,“星舰”凭借强大的运载能力和多用化设计,可执行“星链”卫星发射、向月球和火星运送航天员和设备,以及更富科幻色彩的外星殖民和太空矿业开发。
马斯克还宣称,“星舰”的发射成本相当低,一旦相关试验取得成功,将启动规模化生产,以每年建造100艘的速度,打造1000艘“星舰”组成的太空舰队,将10万人和相关物资运送到火星,实现从21世纪20年代后期开始在火星殖民的梦想。
如果星舰试射成功,外界认为,这将是一个重要里程碑,标志着马斯克的人类移民火星计划迈出关键一步。

Even though some people say that iPhones look the same year after year, I beg to differ. Now, yes, if you go from an iPhone 13 Pro to an iPhone 14 Pro, there is going to be very little change in the design and form factor. But what about when we went from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4? Or if you are someone that waits years to upgrade, and you go from the iPhone 6 to the iPhone 14 Pro? Those upgrades or differences become much more drastic.
