SpaceX has announced the time of its next test of its Starship rocket, which will be the third test flight of the vehicle to date. Here's how to watch.
SpaceX has announced when it will hold the next test of its Starship rocket. Itwill be the third test flight of the vehicle to date. The launch aims to send the vehicle, consisting of the Super Heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft, on a new trajectory, with a splashdown in the Indian Ocean.The third test flight is scheduled for Thursday, March 14, with a launch window beginning at 8 a.m. ET and running for just under two hours.
Related The previous two launches of the Starship have ended in fiery drama with the explosion of both vehicles, although the more recent test in November 2023 made it further than the first launch, achieving stage separation before exploding. SpaceX is known for pushing the boundaries with its rocket launches, including frequent test flights and an acceptance of risk as part of the development process.
This move quickly approach has left the company at odds with safety bodies like the Federal Aviation Administration , which required an inquiry and fixes following the previous failed launch attempt, and environmental advocacy groups that have complained about debris from the explosions.
