To Be Determined
L - -- : -- : -- : --
NET September, 2022
Maiden flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster will separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage will achieve orbit until performing a powered, targeted splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii).
Moving to NET September, pending vehicle readiness and FAA launch licence
Pushing to NET August pending vehicle readiness.
Probably can be safely pushed back by a month pending Boca Chica launch pad EA approval.
Fully reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle.
See Starship Details
Booster 7 will splash down in the Gulf of Mexico following the maiden flight of Starship.
Core will be expended.
Ship 24 (S24) is expected to perform the first Orbital Flight Test.
Starship Details
Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
