SpaceX Engineer revealed Ship 35 ''REGAIN CONTROL'' before RUD BUT...Here's Solution
Good news, everyone!
SpaceX has just announced a positive update on S35’s “Regain Control” stage, clearing the path for upcoming flights.
Meanwhile, Blue Origin continues to push into the suborbital tourism market with its New Shepard program.
And halfway around the globe, Japan is making strides in preparing its Mars sample-return mission.
Let’s dive into all of today’s stories on Great SpaceX.
Flight 9 ended with a mix of triumphs and unanswered questions, and though everyone had been expecting S35 to steal the show, the upper stage instead delivered a sobering reminder of how many hurdles remain. From the outset, S35 carried enormous expectations. We counted on it to reach orbit, deploy its payload, reignite in space, survive re-entry, and splash down gently. Instead, it never managed to open its payload bay, then began to tumble uncontrollably. At T+00:46:40—just as the cameras caught the aft flap burning—the live feed cut out and, for a moment, it felt like that was truly the end of S35’s journey.

But SpaceX engineers weren’t ready to give up. Behind the scenes, they kept pinging S35 with commands, trying to reestablish guidance and telemetry. Their persistence paid off. A few days later, an internal screenshot—purportedly a chat from a SpaceX team member—revealed the key message: “We did regain some control at the end.” That small revelation changed how we should view the flight’s conclusion.
Why does regaining control matter so much? By the time S35 regained stability, the stage had endured severe structural and thermal stress. Its aft flap was badly scorched, critical plumbing was likely compromised, and internal avionics might have suffered damage from violent vibrations. No one expected a gentle touchdown at that point. Yet, regaining enough attitude authority to fly into the designated splashdown corridor proved that the vehicle’s guidance and control systems still functioned under dire conditions.

Every Starship flight must operate within a narrow warning area set by the FAA. For S35, that zone stretches across the Indian Ocean, southeast of Madagascar. Landing within that corridor safeguards shipping lanes and coastal regions, and it demonstrates to regulators—both federal and international—that SpaceX can contain any unexpected debris. By reorienting S35 away from a random spin and guiding it back over water, SpaceX fulfilled its safety obligations, ensuring no harm came to people or property. This achievement should smooth the path for quick flight licensing, as regulators will see that SpaceX can still satisfy stringent safety requirements even after mission anomalies.
