Raumfahrt: SpaceX plant neuen Raketen-Startplatz für 100 Milliarden Dollar
Tech-Milliardär Elon Musk hat ehrgeizige Vorhaben für seine Weltraum-Firma. In Louisiana macht er nun den Anfang mit zwei Startrampen für Starship-Raketen.
Baton Rouge, Louisiana is set to become the home of a new $100 billion SpaceX rocket launch site, as announced by the state's Governor Jeff Landry and SpaceX executives on Tuesday. The project, which will cover an area of approximately 506 square kilometers on Pecan Island, will provide SpaceX with a third potential launch location for its Starship rocket.
Currently, the company is focusing its efforts on building and launching the spacecraft primarily in South Texas, while also developing a second launch site in Cape Canaveral, Florida. SpaceX's ambitious plans for the Starship include launching multiple times daily after its full development. However, as of this year, the rocket has only been launched twice.
