SpaceX launched the eighth test flight of its giant Starship rocket on Thursday, but lost contact with its spacecraft shortly after launch.
周四,SpaceX公司进行了其巨型星际飞船火箭的第八次试飞,但在发射后不久就与飞船失去了联系。
Starship took off from the company's Starbase facility near Brownsville in the US state of Texas at about 5:30 pm Central Time.
美国中部时间下午5点30分左右,星际飞船从该公司位于美国德克萨斯州布朗斯维尔附近的星际基地起飞。
Less than 10 minutes after liftoff, the rocket's Super Heavy booster successfully returned to the launch site for a "chopsticks" catch — catching the returning booster using mechanical "chopsticks", called "Mechazilla", on the launch tower, according to live broadcast.
太空探索技术公司直播画面显示,发射后约8分钟,该火箭第一级助推器又一次实现发射塔回收,在降落时由发射塔上的机械臂“夹住”,在半空中“捕获”回收。
But the Starship spacecraft lost altitude control, and lost communication with the ground, according to the broadcast.
但据广播报道,星际飞船失去了高度控制,并与地面失去了联系。
