Images of Starship’s successful return to the embrace of SpaceX;

Starship, the spacecraft of SpaceX, returned to Earth’s atmosphere on Saturday, 23 Aban, after a 22-hour trip in Earth orbit, and for the first time in the air was captured using the giant mechanical arms of the launch tower in Texas. It is the same tower from which the spacecraft was launched one day earlier.

According to Reuters, Starship, standing 171 feet tall, emerged through dense clouds over the Starbase launch site in Texas. The spacecraft reignited its engines, rotated in the air to get into an upright position, and then slowly landed among the mechanical arms of the tower, known as “Mechazilla.”

The successful landing of the upper stage of Starship, after 14 orbits around Earth and more than 22 hours in orbit, is an important engineering achievement in the rapid development and multi-billion-dollar process of this spacecraft.
