On October 30, according to foreign media reports, American space exploration technology company SpaceX has tested the newly installed giant manipulator mechazilla for the first time at its test site in southern Texas. The robotic arms, like enlarged chopsticks, will be used for soft landing recovery of starships and their boosters p> < p > < / P > < p > SpaceX fans claimed through Twitter that: "(local time in the United States) at about 6:30 a.m. on October 28, SpaceX tested mechazilla for the first time in its history, showing that it swings its arm to the left of the interstellar base, which proves that 'chopsticks' are alive now." < / P > < p > in August this year, Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX "SpaceX will try to capture the largest flying object in history with robotic chopsticks," he said on twitter. He also joked about mechazilla's ability to capture starships, saying it was like holding up chopsticks to hold small pieces of sushi p> < p > soon after, SpaceX fans posted an animated video on Twitter to guess how mechazilla works. Musk affirmed that it was "very close" to the idea of SpaceX. This is a very crazy concept. If there is a problem in any link, it is likely to evolve into a huge disaster p> < p > in the past few months, SpaceX has been stepping up the construction of a 440 foot (134 meter) high launch tower. On October 6, SpaceX began to assemble three main components of mechazilla, such as carriage like structure, tower QD arm and two huge mechanical arms. By October 20, SpaceX had basically completed the installation of mechazilla on the launch tower p> < p > mechazilla is part of SpaceX's first attempt to launch a starship for its first orbital test flight. Last week, SpaceX successfully conducted static ignition test on the prototype S20 of the first orbital starship, indicating that the company may soon try to recycle the first starship and super heavy rocket booster using mechazilla p> < p > however, in view of the environmental investigation being carried out by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), it is still uncertain when the first orbital test launch of SpaceX spacecraft will be carried out. But musk himself predicted that the test would be carried out as soon as next month, although it was still waiting for "regulatory approval". (small) < / P > < p >
