SpaceX Starship - How landing works

SpaceX Starship - How landing works
The SpaceX starship launches vertically like other rockets. The booster separates from the cargo or manned module on its way to orbit or deep space. But the SpaceX rockets and Starship system are unusual, because they are the first reusable orbital system. This is only possible because the Starship boosters and the Starship itself can return to Earth intact. When the payload capsule is released, the stubby grid fins on the booster rocket allow it to belly flop and aerobrake as it returns toward the landing platform. The boostback burn of the rockets slows it down on its descent. These boosters then help the rocket to right itself and land vertically on the platform. The rockets have four landing legs that extend to cushion the landing. The rocket’s thrusters are controlled by the onboard computer. It was the process of righting itself and landing that caused many of the initial explosions of the Starship rocket prototypes. The process is the same for the cargo or crewed versions of the Starship.
