Break news! SpaceX officially announced revealed second Starship launch date.
This is official!
SpaceX announced on Friday that the company is targeting “mid-November” for the second flight test of the Super Heavy rocket and its Starship upper stage.
”The second flight test of a fully integrated Starship could launch as soon as mid-November, pending regulatory approval, the company said on X.
Sources suggest the launch could be as soon as November. 13.
SpaceX will again target a morning liftoff for the rocket, perhaps around 8 a.m. local time in South Texas (14:00 UTC).
The flight timeline and profile released by the company on Friday for the second flight test is similar to April’s test, calling for a 90-minute flight of the Starship upper stage, which is intended to nearly complete a full orbit before splashing down into the Pacific Ocean near the island of Kauai.
One notable change is the addition of a “hot staging” ring between the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage. This technique will call for the Starship’s Raptor engines to ignite before the upper stage separates from the Super Heavy first stage. This is more technically challenging than waiting for stage separation, but will eventually result in a higher payload-to-orbit capability for Starship.
SpaceX will not seek to recover either the first or second stage on this flight. The goal, instead, is to prove the flight capabilities of the Super Heavy rocket and, if the stack reaches separation, the performance of Starship. Musk has said he thinks there is about a 60 percent chance that Starship will reach its destination on this flight.
To know that right or wrong, SpaceX still said the launch date is pending regulatory approval.
Those regulatory hurdles surrounding the fully reusable launch vehicle are now mainly centered around the conclusion of an environmental review, which is in the hands of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).
Earlier this week, the Federal Aviation Administration said it had concluded the Starship-Super Heavy safety review. In a statement, the agency said “The environmental review is the last major element to complete before the FAA makes a license determination.”
SpaceX will debut a number of upgrades to both the rocket itself as well as the launch infrastructure, including their new hot-stage separation system and an electronic Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system.
The FWS has been evaluating one of the key upgrades since IFT-1: the water-cooled steel flame deflector aka the water deluge system.
Reached for comment early Friday morning, an FWS spokesperson said they didn’t have any updates to provide regarding their progress.
