Video Discription |
SpaceX aims to conduct 25 flights annually from Starbase in the near future. This means we could see two to three launches per month. This plan is now officially under FAA consideration, marking a significant step forward for SpaceX's Starship development.
On July 15, SpaceX conducted a full-duration static fire of its Super Heavy booster, a critical test ahead of Starship's next integrated flight test, which is expected in the next few weeks. This will be the fifth launch of Starship's fully stacked vehicle and is set to be the most ambitious to date. NASA has contracted Starship as the lunar lander for its Artemis 3 mission. SpaceX CEO Musk has also stated that Starship could eventually carry humans to Mars.
The 233-foot booster was transported to the launch pad at SpaceX's test site on July 9. The static test fire, performed at the Starbase facility in Texas, involved the rocket's 33 Raptor engines firing at full thrust for about 20 seconds. SpaceX shared videos of this event, showing multiple angles of the powerful static fire.
Previous test flights of Starship have progressively achieved more. The most recent launch in June was a complete success, with both Starship and its Super Heavy booster returning for controlled ocean splashdowns. SpaceX aims to build on this success with the fifth flight.
Starship is designed to be a fully reusable spacecraft. Like the Falcon 9 booster, Super Heavy uses grid fins to control its reentry. However, unlike Falcon 9, Super Heavy is intended to fly straight back to the launch pad. The launch tower has two large "chopstick" arms designed to catch Super Heavy by its grid fins, facilitating rapid refurbishment for the next launch.
During the fourth flight, SpaceX tested the timing and capabilities of the chopstick arms by closing them in conjunction with the booster's water landing. Now, SpaceX plans to attempt the catch in earnest. Following the fourth orbital flight, Musk indicated they are "aiming to try this in late July!".
Regarding the next launch, Musk suggested it could happen around August 2, although his timelines are often optimistic. The fifth flight could potentially lift off in early August if everything goes according to plan.
SpaceX has made significant upgrades to both the Starship system and its launch pad since the first flight. These include over 1,000 modifications to improve thrust vector control and payload capacity, and substantial improvements to the launch pad itself, such as a water-cooled steel plate to protect it during launches.
