Starship is a powerful rocket of SpaceX company that is preparing for space travel. Now, Elon Musk has unveiled a new technology to launch this class of space rockets.

Elon Musk traveled to Russia years ago to negotiate the purchase of missiles. However, the negotiations did not go well at all and he also decided to start his own company to build rockets. Elon Musk’s company has developed so much over the years that few people in the world do not know the name of SpaceX.

SpaceX has advanced so much that even NASA wants to use the company’s Starship rocket in the Artemis 3 and 4 missions. In these missions, astronauts will step on the surface of the moon again after several decades. Starship is the most powerful rocket ever made by mankind, and not long ago, the company made its first test launch.

As a result of this test, the missile launch pad was severely damaged. In fact, a big pit appeared there and pieces of concrete flew. This also caused Elon Musk to announce efforts to prevent such injuries only one day later. Their plan is to use a large steel plate that is cooled using water. Elon Musk’s new technology is essential for launching space rockets.

Of course, SpaceX was working on this particular page three months ago; But they could not prepare it for the test launch. In fact, SpaceX engineers thought that the concrete under the launch pad would withstand a single rocket launch. Something that did not happen in reality. Fortunately, SpaceX has released a new video showing an early version of the steel plate going up against a Raptor.

At the end of the test, the steel plate is still intact. Although the target plate must be able to withstand the extraordinary power of the 33 Raptor engines in the first stage, that is why it is still under development. Elon Musk previously said that SpaceX is preparing several Starship rockets at the same time and could test another flight soon.

Of course, Elon Musk knows that the launch of another space rocket is conditional on the preparation of the new technology of the platform, as well as receiving approval from the American aviation authorities.
