San Francisco, Feb 6 : Elon Musk has stated that SpaceX may attempt to complete the long-awaited orbital test flight of Starship as early as next month.
In response to a question from one of his Twitter followers on Saturday, which asked, You back in Texas? Starship almost ready?, Musk said the private space firm is targeting a March launch attempt.
If remaining tests go well, we will attempt a Starship launch next month, he tweeted.
In January, SpaceX completed its first-ever, full flight-like dress rehearsal for its deep space rocket Starship which is likely capable of taking astronauts to Mars.
The space company conducted a wet dress rehearsal with the 395-foot-tall (120 metres) Starship at its Starbase facility in south Texas.
Starship completed its first full flight-like wet dress rehearsal at Starbase.
This was the first time an integrated Ship and Booster were fully loaded with more than 10 million pounds of propellant, SpaceX said in a tweet.
Meanwhile, NASA and SpaceX have set February 26 as the launch date for the Crew-6 mission, which will send four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for a six-month stay.
Crew-6 will send the SpaceX Dragon capsule Endeavour aloft atop a Falcon 9 rocket, which will launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, according to a NASA blogpost #SpaceX #Starship #March #Telugu #TeluguStop #San Francisco #Twitter #Cisco #Elon Musk #Musk #NASA
