The launch pad for the Starship spacecraft after its accident will be repaired in 2 months, said SpaceX founder Elon Musk.
The Starship spacecraft is designed for deep space flights. It was supposed to make its first flight on Thursday. The tests ended in loss of control and an explosion at an altitude of 38 km.
As reported, during launch, the launch pad received significant damage.
“Looks like we might be ready for another launch in a month or two,” Musk tweeted.
According to him, the damage to the launch pad is due to the fact that the cement could not cope with the loads during the launch of the super-heavy rocket. At the same time, SpaceX planned to build a water-cooled steel plate, but did not have time.
Starship is the largest and most powerful rocket ever built for space launches. Together with the accelerator Super Heavy Starship reaches a length of 120 meters.
