SpaceX prepares Starship launch tower’s rocket-catching arms for installation.
Welcome back to Great SpaceX!
We're back to keep you up to date on the most exciting news of the construction progress at Starbase, specifically on the addition to the launch tower's catch arm. There's also interesting information about NASA's Lucy mission launching this week.
But first, If you're new to our channel, a sincere welcome from the Great SpaceX team. Make sure you subscribe to the channel and hit the bell so you won't miss any of SpaceX's latest news on our channel.
If you’re all set, then let’s dive right in on today’s episode.
Let's move over to Starbase, first. Specifically, the Launch Site.
SpaceX has begun preparing its Starbase ‘launch tower’ for the installation of a pair of giant arms designed to lift, stack, and even catch Starships and Super Heavy boosters out of mid-air.
Deemed ‘Mechazilla’ by CEO Elon Musk, assembly of the first of the structure’s three main arms only began in earnest in June 2021. The ‘quick disconnect’ (QD) arm – that was designed to fuel Starship and stabilize Super Heavy during Starship stacking – was installed on August 29th and followed by the addition of a claw-like appendage meant to grab onto boosters about a month later.
However, ever since Musk first hinted at the possibility of catching Super Heavy and Starship, the star of the Mechazilla show has always been its ‘chopsticks’ – SpaceX’s internal colloquialism for the pair of giant, moving arms meant to lift and catch rockets.
Prefabricated catch arm parts began to arrive at Starbase less than three months ago in the last week or two of July. Just a month later, the basic structure of both arms was practically complete, leaving another month for plumbing, wiring, and a number of smaller structural additions. Less than three months after the first parts arrived, SpaceX lifted the catch arm ‘carriage’ – a sort of backbone that will hold both arms and attach to the launch tower – vertically to install it on a temporary jig.
SpaceX has now lifted, flipped, and staged all three components of Starbase’s Mechazilla rocket-catcher, including two giant arms measuring some 36m from tip to tower.
