The Starship vehicle, developed by SpaceX, is currently on its way back to Earth and has just encountered its second 'Max Q' milestone. This significant event was confirmed by SpaceX engineer Kate Tice, who explained the importance of this phase in the vehicle's journey.
During a spacecraft's launch, the term 'Max Q' is used to describe the moment when the vehicle experiences its maximum dynamic pressure. This occurs when the spacecraft is traveling at high speeds through the dense atmosphere, subjecting it to the highest levels of stress.
