SpaceX has released some dramatic footage showing the testing of a new water deluge system designed to limit the damage caused by its mighty Starship rocket as its blasts off from the launchpad.
Related SpaceX CEO Elon Musk recently revealed that the company has built what he described as a “mega-steel pancake” to protect the launchpad. The plate combines with the water deluge system and is designed to “protect against the immense heat and force of [a] Starship launch,” according to Musk. After the Starship exploded in midair during its maiden flight due to an unexpected anomaly, SpaceX is keen to send its rocket skyward on its second test flight in the coming months.
