English: Boca Chica News 📢 Starship SN5 disassemble / Test Tank SN7.2 did not burst / New tests today
🚫 The SN5 prototype is being disassembled in Boca Chica. This is the first full-size prototype of the Starship, which made a jump of 150 meters, after which it successfully landed on the landing pad.
🌫 The SN7.2 test tank failed to burst. At first, it seemed that the tank only leaked, but after that the tests continued and again the tank remained intact.
Recall that the task of the tests is to check the housing made of 3 mm steel, in the current prototypes 4 mm is used. Ultimately, the tank must be tested for rupture, thereby testing the maximum pressure that it can withstand.
Временные Time limits for flights up to 2.1 km for new tests for today from 18: 00 to 3: 30 Moscow Time (15:00 - 0:30 UTC). The teams are working with the SN10, and we are waiting for the first cryotests with the prototype.
