SpaceX scrubs Starship launch after some of its engines didn't start
摘要
SpaceX于周四取消了其星舰火箭和超重型助推器的试飞，原因是倒计时结束时部分发动机未能启动。此次发射原定于美国得克萨斯州星基地进行，倒计时过程顺利，但在超重型助推器发动机启动序列中，计算机触发了中止指令。任务团队随后开始排空火箭推进剂，官方尚未公布下一次发射时间。
SpaceX called off a test flight of its powerful Starship rocket and Super Heavy booster as the countdown clock reached zero Thursday at the company's spaceport in South Texas.
The launch team at Starbase, Texas, just north of the US-Mexico border, aimed to launch the more than 400-foot-tall rocket at 5:45 pm local time (6:45 pm EDT; 22:45 UTC). The countdown proceeded smoothly throughout the day, culminating in the loading of more than 11.5 million pounds of liquid methane and liquid oxygen into the two-stage rocket.
But the computers controlling the countdown called an abort during the Super Heavy booster's engine startup sequence. SpaceX scrubbed the launch attempt, and engineers began preparations to drain the rocket's propellant tanks. Officials did not immediately announce when they plan to try to launch again.
