The fifth SpaceX spacecraft test launch was successful – the first time the Super Heavy aircraft carrier was able to land on the launch pad since the Starship launch in Texas. This was reported by the development company SpaceX on its page on the social network X.
For this, capture by the Mechazilla system was used.
“[Система] “Mechazilla caught Super Heavy” – says the message cited by RBC.
Previous tests had problems: in April 2023, the rocket exploded after launch, in November both stages exploded separately, in March 2024, Starship reached space but did not complete the flight, in June it made a controlled landing, but with unexpected results.
