“At this point highly confident that we’ll get to orbit this year!”
That’s what Musk said during the Starship update in 2022.
And now, after nearly a year, SpaceX finally appears to be approaching this outdated goal.
Testing and work on the nearly 400-foot-tall Starship and Super Heavy rocket booster have been ongoing at SpaceX’s facility known as Starbase for months.
After a series of high-altitude tests and landing attempts with Starship prototypes, Elon Musk’s company plans to conduct an orbital test flight as soon as February or March.
Last week, SpaceX completed a few milestones in an effort to move toward that test flight.
The company said it completed Starship’s first full flight-like wet dress rehearsal, which included loading Starship and the booster with more than 10 million pounds of fuel.
“Today’s test will help verify a full launch countdown sequence, as well as the performance of Starship and the orbital pad for flight-like operations,” SpaceX tweeted on Jan. 23.
Following a successful wet dress rehearsal, Starship 24 was unstacked from Booster 7 in preparation for a static fire of the Booster’s 33 Raptor engines.
When SpaceX fires up all 33 Raptor engines, they will rock the Texas coast. Before such testing, Cameron County, Texas, officials will announce temporary closures for part of Highway 4 and Boca Chica Beach. The residents in the small beachside community of Boca Chica will also be notified.
Should the static fire test go well, SpaceX will face one final hurdle before the rocket’s first orbital flight: a launch license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
FINALLY! SpaceX launching Starship to orbit is on the edge…
