SpaceX is currently conducting strict testing of its Raptor rocket engines, which will be used in the company’s next-generation rocket, Starship, the world’s largest and most rugged rocket.
The Elon Musk-led company has been conducting studies and advancements on its Raptor engines for some time now, and it looks like it’s still tweaking and tweaking the engine design ahead of Starship’s highly anticipated fourth launch. According to a broadcast from SpaceX’s test facility in McGregor, Texas, via NASASpaceFlight, a Raptor engine recently experienced an anomaly that resulted in an initial explosion and a secondary explosion.
The publication reports that the secondary explosion on the control bench can be attributed to the vapors that provided the first explosion in the air. SpaceX has not officially provided any updates on the explosion, and given how familiar SpaceX is with explosive rocket-like creations, it’s safe to assume that no one was injured by this explosion. For those who don’t know, SpaceX’s flagship rocket, Starship, uses 33 Raptor engines in its top-tier booster called Super Heavy.
