SpaceX的「星艦」（Starship）上級火箭台灣時間週四（19日）下午1時許，在德州墨西哥灣沿岸的「星際基地」（Starbase）製造與測試設施中發生爆炸，原定進行第10次飛行測試的星艦，在進行地面發動機點火測試前突然起火，引發巨大爆炸並摧毀整具火箭，這起事故可能對SpaceX的重型火箭開發與後續登月任務造成嚴重影響。

哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）報導，根據監控SpaceX活動的LabPadre公司發布的影像顯示，爆炸發生在美中時間晚間11點過後約10至15分鐘，離原定測試時間不遠，畫面顯示火箭上面偏中間一處先發生一次爆炸，緊接著左側也出現劇烈燃燒與碎片四射，整座測試架瞬間被火球吞沒，場景宛如炸彈爆炸。

爆炸當時，星艦正在裝填液態氧與部分甲烷燃料，過了90多分鐘火勢仍未受控，現場是星際基地內部專門進行低溫與熱火測試的Massey測試區。

The Log Periodic Antenna  as known as LPDA  is a wideband directional antenna that provides gain and directivity combined over a wide band of frequencies.
Both Log-Periodic Antennas and Yagi antennas are high gain directional antennas. The main difference between these antennas is that Log-Periodic Antennas support wider frequency bandwidths and are physically much larger than Yagi antennas.
The log-periodic dipole array typical VSWR is 2:1 and operates over a much wider bandwidth and will have a lower gain for an equivalent number of elements.
With this level of performance, it is ideal for many applications, although a log-periodic antenna will be much larger than a Yagi of an equivalent gain.
