SpaceX shared a new simulation of the Super Heavy Booster Catching System - Universe Today by AndyTomaswick
Like much of what SpaceX has designed so far, the system is unlike any ever seen in reality. The booster itself has four rectangular fins at its top, splayed out like a giant cross outside the circular rocket housing. As it performs its powered descent, it aims between two pincer-like appendages extruding from Starbase, the original launch platform itself.
That’s a pretty tight squeeze and much more challenging to navigate than existing powered descents, which have a landing pad to land on. It’s also very similar to an animation system released by C-bass productions back in November.Credit – C-bass Productions YouTube Channel While Starship itself was recently stacked on top of a heavy booster for the first time, and the company recently released a Starship update, hinting that the craft may fly by next month, there’s still a long way to go before this system is fully tested. And there are plenty of people that are questioning the physics and economics of the
. But if there is one rocketry company that has proven again and again that it can overcome seemingly immense technical challenges to literally get their rocket off the ground, it’s SpaceX.
