SpaceX申请将Starship年发射量提至456次

精选理由

SpaceX想把Starship年发射量从25次提到456次,一年超900次着陆,FAA正在审查,航天的频率要变天了。

SpaceX向FAA申请将得州Starbase的Starship年发射上限从25次提高到456次,约为现限额的18倍。按此规模计算,平均每月发射38次,超过一天一次。由于Starship和Super Heavy助推器分别回收,该计划还包含每年最多912次着陆,而现行批准仅为50次。FAA将启动环境审查并征求公众意见。

SpaceX is seeking approval for up to 456 Starship launches a year from Starbase, Texas.

• That’s more than 18 times the current annual limit of 25 launches.

• At the full proposed rate, that would average 38 launches a month, or more than one a day.

• The plan also includes up to 912 landings annually because Starship and its Super Heavy booster return separately.

• The current approval allows up to 50 landings a year.

The FAA is preparing an environmental review and will gather public feedback on the expansion.

SpaceX is aiming for a future where reusable rockets launch, land and fly again regularly, helping make spaceflight more accessible.
