Elon Musk’s NEW Upgrade On Starship Heat Shield After Flight 4!
A soft landing after 1 hour and 6 minutes is clearly a good ending for the S29 compared to its siblings in previous flights.
But do you agree that everything would be better if the heat shield had not fallen and its flap wasn’t damaged?
That’s why heatshield has been mentioned more by Elon Musk in recent days than anything else. And today’s episode of Great SpaceX will be when we talk about that: massive changes in the Starship heat shield.
It can be said that the heat shield is still the biggest problem with Starship. Other systems like the engine, separation mechanism, launch system, and tank farm have all been basically resolved, only the heat shield is still a problem that SpaceX has not been solved completely.
In the recent flight, the flap’s damage demonstrated that the heat shield still has many problems. So what are those?

After the flight, many fallen heat shields were picked up by people. Those heat shields come in two main problems. Some tiles were cracked, maybe due to the impact of flight or the impact of falling. The other is the melt at the surface and that is definitely due to the huge heat source from the re-entry process.

Without analyzing too much, those problems are enough to show that the heat shield has not achieved the necessary reliability. Don’t forget that SpaceX’s goal is to reuse the entire rocket, including the heat shield. So how can such heat shields be reused? If not, how can SpaceX increase turn-around time when it always has to replace the heat shield after each flight?
