SpaceX has announced that the upcoming fifth test flight of the Super Heavy rocket booster will introduce a new element - deafening sonic booms. The company revealed that these sonic booms will be a result of the vehicle traveling faster than the speed of sound, creating a ripple of noise across the landscape.
While previous test flights have also produced sonic booms of varying intensities, SpaceX anticipates that the ones generated by the booster's return may be more pronounced. In a recent blog post, the company addressed this unique aspect of the upcoming test flight.
