San Francisco, April 17 (Ians) SpaceX has called off the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket.
“A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today,” CEO Elon Musk said in a tweet on Monday.
Starship is currently sitting on a launch pad at the company’s facilities on the southern Texas coastline.
According to SpaceX’s engineer Kate Tice, the next launch attempt would not be before a minimum of 48 hours, which means no earlier than Wednesday.
“We’re not quite sure what that timing will be” for the next attempt, Tice said. She added that the launch time will depend on the data SpaceX saw from Monday’s attempt.
The flight director decided “to stop the launch for today” due to an issue with the pressurisation system in the Super Heavy booster,” said SpaceX principal integration engineer Insprucker.
