During the recent space launch, the Starliner spacecraft and the Atlas V rocket successfully reached a critical milestone known as 'Max Q.' This term refers to the moment when the vehicle experiences its maximum dynamic pressure during the ascent into space.
Max Q is a crucial phase of the launch process as it represents the point of maximum aerodynamic stress on the spacecraft. It occurs typically around two minutes after liftoff when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds through the Earth's atmosphere.
