SpaceX's latest launch
SpaceX successfully launched 24 Starlink satellites on Monday, November 12, 2024, using the Falcon 9 rocket to take off from the launch complex at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The rocket tail number B1080 completed its 12th flight. The satellite launched this time was the V2 Mini type. About eight minutes after the launch, the rocket successfully landed on the unmanned ship, completing the 84th successful landing. This was the 108th Falcon 9 mission of 2024, marking a total of six Starlink missions. SpaceX also plans to launch more Starlink this week and prepare for the upcoming sixth test flight of Starship. It is expected that the launch of the IF - 6 may take place next Monday (November 18, 2024), provided that the necessary FAA license is obtained.

Did the SpaceX starship launch successfully?
SpaceX's starship launch had both succeeded and failed. At around 20:50 pm on June 6,2024, SpaceX's " Starship " began its fourth test flight mission. After the ignition launch, the " Starship " successfully entered the scheduled orbit. Subsequently, the SpaceX super-heavy thruster successfully landed in the Gulf of Mexico, and the starship itself was confirmed to have splashed down in the Indian Ocean. The test flight was a success. However, some previous launch attempts had failed. For example, during the first orbital launch in April 2023, the rocket rolled in the air and exploded one minute after the launch; At 9:03 p.m. on November 18,2023, during the second unmanned flight test of the heavy-duty launch vehicle, the rocket was launched and all 33 engines were started correctly, but the heavy propeller exploded during flight. Although the spacecraft continued to fly for some distance after separating from the propeller, it eventually lost contact with the spacecraft and the official announcement of the rocket launch failure; On March 14th, 2024, the third attempt to launch a " starship " was lost during the re-entry of the " starship " into the atmosphere. The mission ended prematurely. The novel " Hundred Years of Spaceship " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Huawei's latest product launch conference
At 14:30 on November 26th, 2024, Huawei will hold a new product launch conference. It will launch new products such as the Mate70 series (including the standard version, Pro, Pro+, and the extraordinary master of the RS), MateX6, the new S7 of the intelligent world, and the S800 of the respected world. Some of the Mate70 series models have been exposed. For example, the Mate70 may be equipped with a 6.69-inch 1.5K straight screen, using side fingerprint recognition technology; the Mate70 Pro screen size is about 6.88 inches, using a 1.5K 120Hz deep quad screen, etc. The pre-sale price of the new S7 in the intellectual world started at 248,000 yuan, and different versions adopted different smart driving schemes. Zunjie was a model jointly built by Huawei and Jianghuai that was priced at one million yuan. At present, some information about MateX6, such as color matching, has been revealed, but the overall information has not been fully released.

The latest news about the launch of Shenzhou 18
Shenzhou 18 was scheduled to be launched in the near future. According to the China Manned Space Engineering Office, the Shenzhou-18 manned spacecraft and the Long March 2F Yao-18 launch vehicle had been transferred to the launch area. At present, the launch site facilities and equipment are in good condition, and various functional inspections and joint tests before launch will be carried out as planned. The exact launch time had yet to be determined. The crew of Shenzhou-18 consisted of three astronauts, Ye Guangfu, Li Cong, and Li Guangsu. Ye Guangfu served as the commander. This launch was the first flight mission of Shenzhou-18 and would further advance China's manned space program.
The latest news on the launch time of Tianzhou 4
At 1:56 on May 10,2022, the Tianzhou 4 cargo spacecraft was successfully launched by the Long March 7 Yao 5 launch vehicle at the Wenchang Space Launch Site.

SpaceX's seventh test flight
SpaceX's Starship V2 was scheduled for its seventh test flight on January 11, 2025. Currently, the super-heavy booster Booster 14 of the starship had been erected on the launch pad, ready for the static ignition test. The first S33 rocket completed its test last month and was expected to be used as a second-stage part of the B14 super-heavy thruster for this test flight mission. The new generation of starship S33 had a number of significant changes, such as a shorter (3 sections instead of 5 sections) payloads compartment to free up more space for oxidiser and fuel; the use of new front flap, new heat shield/tile layout; by placing the Pez splitter part in the fairing, the Pez splitter was installed after the fairing and payloads compartment were stacked to improve space utilization; each Raptor vacuum engine had three independent downcomer tubes. These design improvements solved the problems of the existing models, bringing more powerful functions and higher efficiency. The main goal of this test flight was to fully verify the performance data of the new generation of starships to lay the foundation for future space exploration. This event attracted widespread attention from space enthusiasts and the scientific community around the world. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting.

SpaceX starship size
The starship's entire system was composed of two parts, a total height of 120 meters and a diameter of 9 meters. The first-stage "super heavy" thruster was about 69 meters tall, and the second-stage starship had a diameter of 9 meters and a length of 50 meters. The total weight of the starship was 5000 tons, of which the super-heavy thrusters weighed 3600 tons and the starship weighed 1300 tons. In terms of volume, the early design model of the starship HLS was two stories high, with a ceiling height of about 12.19 meters, and could accommodate 20 astronauts.

SpaceX starship parameters
The entire starship system was made up of two parts. ** 1. size ** 1. [Total System: 120 meters high, 9 meters in diameter, equivalent to a 40-story building.] 2. Among them, the super heavy thrust (first-stage rocket) was about 70 meters tall, and the starship itself (second-stage rocket) was 50 meters long. ** 2. Engine and thrust ** 1. First-stage rocket (Super Heavy Booster): 33 second-generation Raptor engines, each capable of generating 230 tons of thrust, with a total take-off thrust of 7590 tons. Of the 33 Raptor engines, 13 of the inner rings could be swung to control the flight attitude, while the 20 of the outer rings were fixed. 2. [Two-stage rocket (Starship Spaceship): 6 Raptor engines installed, 3 of which are sea-level versions (230 tons thrust) and 3 are vacuum versions (258 tons thrust).] ** 3. Transport capacity ** 1. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) capacity: - In the case of full ship recycling (which requires the consumption of return fuel), it can reach 100 - 150 tons. - Without recycling, it could reach 250 tons. 2. [Martian transport capacity: 150 tons after orbital refuelling.] ** 4. In terms of propellants ** A total of 4600 tons of propellants were needed, of which 1200 tons were needed for the starship and 3400 tons were needed for the super heavy thrust. The fuel was composed of liquid oxygen and liquid methane, with a ratio of about 3.55:1 (that is, 3.55 tons of liquid oxygen was needed for every ton of liquid methane). ** 5. Quality ** 1. The take-off mass of the entire system was 5000 tons. 2. It has a carrying capacity of 100 tons and can send 100 people to the Moon, Mars, or other distant destinations, or fly around the Earth.

SpaceX's Seventh Test Flight Plan
SpaceX's seventh test flight was scheduled for January 11, 2025. Currently, NASA plans to begin deployment in Perth, Australia, on January 3, 2025, in order to launch Starship 7 from SpaceX's Interstellar Base in Bocachica, Texas, on January 11, 2025. SpaceX founder Elon Musk said after the sixth flight that the next mission would continue to try to land at sea. If all went well, the company would try to use the launch tower to capture the spacecraft. In the long run, SpaceX was committed to making the launch tower capture technology a normal operation to achieve rapid reuse of the two-stage rocket.
