Spacex Not to get enemies. If more and more astronomers warn that Satellites Starlink They prevent their observations, now they Commercial pilots of aircraft Those who complain about the delays that the rocket launches will Star ship and falcon 9.
The star ship is one of the great private space agencies of Elon Mask. This is a great transfer Completely usedWhich can even be collected in the air back to the ground thanks to a kind of giant Chinese sticks for food. This is a very difficult project, so SpaceX performs Many test releasesThe company has a green light at the moment to 25 annual test flightsBut he hopes to achieve 120 launch and landing per year.
This can be very positive for setting up and the subsequent use of a star ship, but this is an excellent headache for pilots. And, according to two studies that have just been published, these 120 launches can achieve Delay of 12,000 commercial flights per year. Some airports, such as Orlando, are already experiencing the consequences and the situation, seeing that it seems that it will be worse.
Why does SpaceX prevent commercial flights?
During the issues, regardless of whether they are tests, as if not. Limited zone For pure safety. Thus, they get health in case it happened Some possible explosion or bypass. Even if everything goes well, the risk of exposure is high in this area.
This window can go between 40 minutes to two hoursSo many commercial flights can be affected. According to SpaceX, the calculations that have been made so far are exaggerated. They note that the data was taken from the most extreme cases, and that the launch of the rocket and restoration were not taken into account and how they occur in real life.
In addition, they insist that since 2022 they worked on a decrease in the size of the risk areas, 66 %However, many experts do not agree.
What do StarsHip start -up research?
Kennedy Space Center and the US Air Force Department held Environmental impact Whose drafts were placed in a very bad place of launch of the star ship.
They warn about it 120 annual issues, In the case of a star ship, they can be affected From 133 to 400 commercial flights in peak periods, reaching 8000 flights per yearThe field on the other hand, since StarsHip is a reusable missile, during its return they can be affected 400 to 600 flights In peak periods, reaching More than 13,000 per year.
Especially Constant phase landing Starship, Since during his return to Earth any flight that went to South Florida This should be refrained from the intersection of the trajectory. This will affect all commercial flights Orlando, Tampa, Miami, West -Palm and Fort -Loderteil.
Unfortunately, the situation will get worse
Other companies such as Blue originThey received permits for 12 flights a year. Everything adds, and the time will come when a dispute between commercial and spatial flights will be filed. In addition, SpaceX plans are Increase your launch stationsTherefore, areas of risk will be even wider.
A United and Canadian pilot unions They insist that measures must be taken to prevent delays in becoming catastrophic. Some airports, such as Orlando, are already suffering from consequences and are afraid that everything worsens as a result of giant steps. The worst thing is that, as we have already advanced, this is only the beginning. If the decisions are not requested, the destruction of the land can be a trivial joke next to what can happen in the air.
