Six years since the first time Elon Musk revealed SpaceX’s new-gen rocket, the company thoroughly redesigned Starship multiple times.
Compared to the first rough prototype, later prototypes are becoming more and more refined and well-looked with smoother metal walls and subtler welds.
It raises the question, how did SpaceX change a rough Starship to a well-detailed, smooth surface?
Let’s find out the answer in today’s episode of Great SpaceX!
Having said that, SpaceX’s new upgrades on Starship’s welding changed everything!
Basically, welding is a fabrication process whereby two or more parts are fused together by means of heat, pressure, or both forming a joint as the parts cool.
The initial design of Starship was to use carbon fiber for everything – from the body of the spacecraft to the pressurized liquid oxygen tanks. They even built prototypes of the parts and SpaceX founder Elon Musk shared their photos on social media.
But SpaceX engineers changed their minds and decided to build Starship from stainless steel instead of carbon fiber.
It is because stainless steel is much cheaper than carbon fiber. Going with stainless steel also allows SpaceX to work on Musk’s dream of a regenerative heat shield.
However, stainless steel is an iron-based alloy containing variable amounts of chromium, which is the element that gives stainless steel its rust-proof reputation. The degree of chromium can vary from 11% to 30% with each variation having slightly different chemical attributes that influence how it performs.
