SpaceX's Next Starship Launch Could Be Just Weeks Away |
|
Since Starship's first launch nearly two months ago, teams at SpaceX have been all hands on deck as they prepare for the next attempt. As soon as the company was able to return to the launchpad, work began on clearing debris and assessing the damage. By now Stage 0, all the key infrastructure at the launch pad, is looking reasonably close to being complete.
However, Stage 0 is not the only factor determining Starship's next launch. The rocket itself is making fast progress and new estimates from Musk suggest that in only two months from now we could see another full integrated test flight. While ambitious, progress is being made at a very impressive pace and the company is determined to get this vehicle to orbit. This comment also gives more insights on the water cooled steel plate and some of the testing that was recently completed. Obviously, SpaceX is confident in this design as a full system is nearing completion under the orbital launch mount. Here I will go more in-depth into the new launch estimates, some of the work that still needs to be completed, what to expect in the next few weeks, and more.
