来源:SciTech日报DLR 的分析表明，星舰可能会定义重型发射的未来，但欧洲可以追求自己的更小、更高效的部分可重复使用的路径。
2023 年夏天，SpaceX 取得了一些航空工程师们已经讨论了几代人的成就，尽管许多人并没有想到会亲眼目睹。星际飞船是一种比三十层楼还高的不锈钢交通工具，它的三十三个引擎同时启动，从德克萨斯州海岸升起。
试飞并非完美无缺。但火箭离开了发射台。 Later, during flight test five, the Super Heavy booster returned and was caught in mid air by the giant mechanical arms of its own launch tower. At that point, it became hard to deny that spaceflight had entered a new era.
Starship is being built to deliver more than 100 metric tons to low Earth orbit while being fully reusable. If SpaceX reaches that target, Starship would become the most powerful and most economical rocket ever built. For national space agencies and private launch companies worldwide, the central question has shifted. It is no longer whether Starship could transform the industry, but how everyone else should respond.
Starship 的数据面临审查
德国航空航天中心 (DLR) 的研究人员现已发布了迄今为止关于星舰性能的最详细的独立研究之一。 Notably, they did not base their work on SpaceX’s public performance claims. Instead, they reviewed the publicly streamed footage from the first four integrated flight tests and extracted telemetry data moment by moment.
They then used those data to create and test detailed performance models of the vehicle.由此产生的评估将 Starship 作为一个系统，其实际功能得到了更仔细的定义，但仍然比其宣传形象所暗示的更令人印象深刻。
