SpaceX accomplishes first soft splashdown of Starship, Super Heavy Booster on Flight 4 mission

SpaceX recently achieved a significant milestone by successfully completing a soft splashdown of the Starship and Super Heavy booster during its fourth flight test. This mission, launched from the SpaceX Starbase in Texas, aimed to demonstrate the ability to return and reuse both stages of the rocket system. The Super Heavy booster performed a landing burn and executed a controlled soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, marking a first for SpaceX with this massive rocket​.https://www.highcpmgate.com/s6nuezxp?key=26ac2ba3f5468ea4b67ded71b826fa77

In preparation for this flight, SpaceX made several improvements based on lessons learned from previous tests. These included hardware and software upgrades, such as enhancing the roll control thrusters to improve attitude control during reentry and making modifications to the propellant filtration system to prevent engine shutdowns​ https://www.highcpmgate.com/s6nuezxp?key=26ac2ba3f5468ea4b67ded71b826fa77.

The primary objectives of the flight were to achieve a controlled reentry for the Starship and a soft splashdown for the Super Heavy booster. This mission follows a similar trajectory to the third flight, which also focused on reaching orbital velocity and gathering data to enhance future missions.https://www.highcpmgate.com/s6nuezxp?key=26ac2ba3f5468ea4b67ded71b826fa77
