SpaceX is gearing up for the first 500-foot ¡Æhop¡Ç of its SN6 Starship ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë, weeks after a successful ²ò½ü¤¹¤ë-off of the SN5 ¡Ê¼êÀè¤Î¡Ëµ»½Ñ.

SpaceX ¹Ô°Ù¡¿¹Ô¤¦d a 'static ²ò¸Û¤¹¤ë¡¿Ë¤²Ð¡¿¼Í·â' ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë of its SN6 Starship ¸¶·¿, which means the ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë could »î¤ß¤ë¡¿´ë¤Æ¤ë a 500-foot hop as soon as this ½µËö
The ºÇ¿·¤Î ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë »Ï¤á¤ë¡¤·è¤á¤ës the SN6 up to take its first hop into the ¶õµ¤¡¿¸øɽ¤¹¤ë, getting it ready to travel ¤È°ì½ï¤Ë its Á°Ç¤¼Ô SN5.
On Monday, the team turned on the Â絬ÌÏ¤Ê Raptor engine for a few seconds, sending a roar, ±ê¾ås and smoke ÁÀ·â out from the base of the ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë, ¤Ë¤è¤ì¤Ð a ¥Ó¥Ç¥ª ²òÊü¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd by LabPadre.
The successful feat means the ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë can »î¤ß¤ë¡¿´ë¤Æ¤ë its first ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë flight as soon as this ½µËö.
Many may have lost Ìó« in the CEO Elon Musk¡Çs ability to ¼óÈø¤è¤¯ send a ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë to ²ÐÀ±, but that changed August 7.
The company lit up the ¸¶·¿¡ Çs Raptor Engine during a static ²ò¸Û¤¹¤ë¡¿Ë¤²Ð¡¿¼Í·â ºÛȽ¡¤¸øȽ, ²òÊü¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëing bursts of ²ò¸Û¤¹¤ë¡¿Ë¤²Ð¡¿¼Í·â and smoke from the base - it was, however, the third »î¤ß¤ë¡¿´ë¤Æ¤ë of the ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë
The nine-story large metallic SN5 ÅÀ²Ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd its Áª¤Ó½Ð¤¹¡¿ÆÈ¿È Raptor engine and slowly rose into the ¶õµ¤¡¿¸øɽ¤¹¤ë before gently returning to the ground and ¾åΦ upright a short distance away from where ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ëd.
¡Æ²ÐÀ± is looking real,¡Ç Musk tweeted in ÊÖÅú to the ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ë Tuesday evening, later Äɲ乤ëing that ¡Æ¿ÊÊâ is ²Ã®¤¹¤ëing¡Ç.
For a moment after the engine first ÅÀ²Ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd, it looked as if the ¸¶·¿ was struggling to get ¶õÍ¢¤Î, but then it suddenly rose above its own smoke, hovered and ¡Êµ¡¤Î¡Ë¥«¥à in for a soft ¾åΦ.
Musk has had many ups and É餫¤¹¡¿·âÄƤ¹¤ës with his beloved Starship ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë and its ¹½À®Í×ÁÇs, but is taking them in stride.
¤Ë°ú¤Â³¤¤¤Æ the successful hop of SN5, the CEO ³ôd on Twitter that the Raptor engine did not Çúȯ¤¹¤ë after reaching a new high dz¾Æ µÄ²ñ °µÎÏ during a controlled dz¤ä¤¹ ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.
The ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë was ¹Ô°Ù¡¿¹Ô¤¦d August 23 at SpaceX¡Çs Boca Chica »ÜÀß in Texas, which could lead to a SN6's first flight this ½µËö
SN5 made its 'hop' earlier this month and is ¸½ºß¡¿°ìÈÌ¤Ë Â¸ºß prepped for other ³«»Ï¤¹¤ë¡¤ÂǤÁ¾å¤²¤ës that could lead to the big »ÈÀáÃÄ to ²ÐÀ±
The engine, a ·èÄêŪ¤Ê piece of the Starship ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë, ¹¶·â¤¹¤ë¡¤¾×Æͤ¹¤ë a µÏ¿¡¤µÏ¿Åª¤Ê¡¿µÏ¿¤¹¤ë breaker of 330 ˸¤²¤ë¡¿Ë¡ÄÊÛ¸î»Î¶È ? previous engines have only managed to »ý³¤¹¤ë 290 to 300 ˸¤²¤ë¡¿Ë¡ÄÊÛ¸î»Î¶È.
¡ÆRaptor engine just reached 330 ˸¤²¤ë¡¿Ë¡ÄÊÛ¸î»Î¶È µÄ²ñ °µÎÏ without Çúȯ¤¹¤ëing,¡Ç reads the tweet.
Musk also ÃÏ°Ì¡¤Ç¤Ì¿¤¹¤ëd a graph of the engine¡Çs µÄ²ñ °µÎÏ to ³Îǧ¤¹¤ë a successful ²¡¤·¿Ê¤á¤ë to µÏ¿¡¤µÏ¿Åª¤Ê¡¿µÏ¿¤¹¤ë-breaking levels, Teslarati Êó¹ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë¡¿²±Â¬s.
Musk explained that 300 ˸¤²¤ë¡¿Ë¡ÄÊÛ¸î»Î¶È on the Raptor produces a half a million ³¤±¤¶¤Þ¤ËÌԷ⤹¤ës, or 225 ³¤±¤¶¤Þ¤ËÌԷ⤹¤ës, of ·³Ââ.
SpaceX has seen four of its Starship ¸¶·¿s Çúȯ¤¹¤ë - the most ºÇ¶á¤Î fiasco Çúȯ¤¹¤ëd in May.
The ¸¶·¿ Serial Number 4 ¾Ã¤¨¤ëd into a fireball at SpaceX's ¾ì½ê¡¿°ÌÃÖ in Texas ¤¹¤°¤Ë the engine was ÅÀ²Ð¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd for a Í¿°µ¤¹¤ëd ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.
The SN4 had passed several important milestones during ³«È¯, incl uding a pressurization ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë that had ¼ºÇÔ¤µ¤»¤ë¡¿É餫¤¹d previous models.
¤Ë°ú¤Â³¤¤¤Æ the successful hop of SN5, the CEO ³ôd on Twitter that the Raptor engine did not Çúȯ¤¹¤ë after reaching a new high dz¾Æ µÄ²ñ °µÎÏ during a controlled dz¤ä¤¹ ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë
The first ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë was ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ëd in 2019, Mk1 ¸¶·¿, but was ¡Ê³¤¡¤±ì¤Ê¤É¤¬¡Ë°û¤ß¹þ¤àd in ±ê¾ås during a cryogenic °µÎÏ ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.
The second ¥í¥±¥Ã¥È¡¿µÞƤ¹¤ë, dubbed Serial Number 1 (SN1), fell µ¾À·¼Ô to another °µÎÏ ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë when it failed to ´Þ¤à¡¿Éõ¤¸¹þ¤á¤ë its liquid ÃâÁÇ.
However, this time the stainless steel cylinder flew off the stand and ¡Êµ¡¤Î¡Ë¥«¥à É餫¤¹¡¿·âÄƤ¹¤ë ¾×ÆÍ¡¤ÄÆÍîing.
And the third time SpaceX saw its third ²õÌÇŪ¤Ê ¼ºÇÔ was in April - again the Starship ¸¶·¿ imploded during the cryogenic °µÎÏ ¼Â¸³¡Ê¤¹¤ë¡Ë.
