Part 7/11:
In addition to improvements in Starship, the Super Heavy booster also demands enhancements. Instances of engine failures and structural stresses observed during recent tests indicate the need for reinforcement and optimization. Future tests will involve more aggressive maneuvers, such as active flips and landings with fewer engines, necessitating a stronger structure capable of withstanding increased stress.
Meanwhile, the engines themselves require upgrades to support higher performance levels, including longer burn times, reliable relighting capabilities, and durability for orbital insertions and deep-space missions.
