SpaceX launched its 3rd Starship with advanced heat shield tiles crucial for spacecraft reentry. These tiles are designed to withstand extreme heat during atmospheric reentry, ensuring astronaut safety and spacecraft integrity. Composed of durable materials like PICA-X, these tiles have proven effective in protecting spacecraft during high-speed reentries into Earth's atmosphere. Thermal imaging cameras detect the heat shield tiles' critical role in safeguarding the Starship.
