In the few days since Starship’s fourth flight test, we’ve received snippets of information from Musk along with the company highlighting new details and future plans. Most recently, during a livestream Musk was hosting, he talked about plans to add an additional ablative material under all of Starship’s existing heat shield tiles.
The goal here would be to add extra protection in the event that a tile breaks or falls off during any process in the launch. If that wasn’t enough, he also estimated the next launch would happen in about a month from now. Here I will go more in-depth into the highlights of what Musk said, work on the heat shield, preparing for reentry, and more.
