SpaceX will return its booster with a launcher

SpaceX will change the approach to landing its reusable launch vehicles, according to the CEO

and company founder Elon Musk, engineers will try to "catch" the Super Heavy launcher with the help of the launch column sleeve, which is used to stabilize the rocket during preparation for takeoff.The current Falcon 9 launch vehicles are returning to Earth and landing on the built-in legs, but the Super Heavy wants toget rid of them.

The Super Heavy launch process will still beinclude the use of thrusters to control speed, but engineers will also incorporate lattice fins to help control the device's orientation during flight and "catch" the booster. The main advantages of this method are that SpaceX can save on device weight by eliminating landing legs from the Super Heavy design.

Radishes were grown in space for the first time

Starship and Super Heavy's goal is to createa launch vehicle that will be even more reusable compared to SpaceX's existing Falcon 9 (and Falcon Heavy) system. In the future, the speed of round-trip flights should increase, so the company refuses to slow processes during launch and landing.

Device prototypes are now being created andtested in Texas (USA). The company is also working on elements of the Super Heavy launch vehicle, and in a few months they want to begin active flight testing of this component of the launch system.
