SpaceX Prepares For Third Starship Launch As Early As Next Week<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

SpaceX wrote on its\u00a0website<\/a>\u00a0and social media platform X that the Starship\/Super Heavy vehicle’s third flight could be as soon as next Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company said,\u00a0“The third flight test of Starship could launch as soon as March 14, pending regulatory approval.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Last month, the Federal Aviation Administration\u00a0closed an investigation<\/a>\u00a0into the second flight, which paved the way for the third flight. However, a launch license would need to be obtained first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The third flight is set to follow a different track than the first two. It shows the Starship completing an orbit before re-entry and splashing down near Hawaii approximately 90 minutes after launch from the Starbase complex in South Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More from SpaceX about the third launch:<\/p>\n

The third flight test aims to build on what we’ve learned from previous flights while attempting a number of ambitious objectives, including the successful ascent burn of both stages, opening and closing Starship’s payload door, a propellant transfer demonstration during the upper stage’s coast phase, the first ever re-light of a Raptor engine while in space, and a controlled reentry of Starship. It will also fly a new trajectory, with Starship targeted to splashdown in the Indian Ocean. This new flight path enables us to attempt new techniques like in-space engine burns while maximizing public safety.<\/em><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, Elon Musk posted on X: “Starship Flight 3 preparing for launch.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember, a launch license is key before blastoff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
