The live webcast of this exciting test flight will begin approximately 30 minutes before liftoff. This live broadcast will be available for viewing on SpaceX's official website and on their X account @SpaceX. Due to the nature of developmental testing, it's important to remember that the schedule may change. We encourage you to follow SpaceX on X to stay up-to-date with the latest information.
Reflecting on Starship's previous flight, SpaceX achieved significant milestones that greatly contributed to propelling the development of Starship. These flight tests are crucial, offering real-world conditions that cannot be replicated in a laboratory or on a test stand. They are essential for learning and advancing our capabilities.
The upcoming third flight test aims to elevate SpaceX's ambitions even further. The goals for this mission include a successful ascent burn of both stages, operational opening and closing of Starship's payload bay doors, demonstrating a propellant transfer during the coast phase of the upper stage, re-igniting a Raptor engine in space for the first time, and ensuring a controlled re-entry of Starship. Moreover, Starship will embark on a new trajectory, aiming for a splashdown in the Indian Ocean. This new path not only allows SpaceX to experiment with in-space engine burns but also ensures public safety.
Each of these objectives aims to push the boundaries of what we know and can achieve in space flight. As with all tests, the primary focus is on learning and refining technology to make interstellar travel a reality.
Don't miss out on this historic event! Join us to watch as Starship takes to the skies, further advancing the mission of space exploration and beyond.
