Human Landing System

Last night, SpaceX launched its ninth Starship rocket from Starbase, Texas. While this time the rocket made it further than the previous two, it was far from perfect. So, was the mission successful or another straight-up failure?

SpaceX announced that its Starship Flight 9 mission will see the rocket’s first taste of reusability with the booster from Flight 7. The company also announced that a vast majority of the Raptor engines that flew on the booster will return for flight as well.

We are just a few weeks out from SpaceX plans to do next. We are now in December, which likely puts another launch out of the realm of possibility for 2024, but what exactly might we see for Flight 7?

What do you do when you build the world’s largest and most powerful rocket? Well, you strap a banana in its payload bay and launch it into space. Bananas seemed to be the theme for Starship Flight 6, while the mission was also a major success.

Starship Flight 6 mission no earlier than Tuesday, November 18, at 4:00 P.M. CST. All of the vehicle’s rocket components are at the launch site and are stacked and ready for launch.

Starship upper stage to the launch site ahead of Flight 6, expected on November 18. This ship has seen a few changes compared to what came before it but is only the tip of the iceberg for what is to come next.

Human Landing System. A major component of both that mission and Starship’s Mars mission will be orbital refueling.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Starship rocket on its most successful and daring mission yet. It now has a regulatory open lane for a sixth mission, and if recent activity has anything to show for it, it could be sooner rather than later.

Sunday, Starbase, Texas. A feat that many didn’t think would come true when watching the renders. However, SpaceX once again defied the odds and made fiction a reality and can now move on with its much more ambitious Starship plans.

Defying all belief in the previous timelines, Artemis Program deadlines.

FAA approval to launch.

It’s been over three months since SpaceX was granted a multi-launch contract, so where are the launches?

An internal SpaceX, may be delayed by at least a year and a half.

SpaceX successfully launched its fourth Starship flight from its launch site in Starbase, Texas. Unlike Flight 3, Flight 4 made two successful splashdowns in both the Gulf of Mexico and Indian Ocean. Although, the jury is still out on what exactly we did and didn’t see during today’s flight.

Yes I know we just had a big mission yesterday but this week is not for the weary. This morning SpaceX is attempting Starship Flight 4 from its launch facility down in Starbase, Texas.

The SpaceX the ability to launch again without another FAA investigation (if there’s a failure somewhere). The company is now making final preparations for launch on Thursday, June 6.

Over the last few weeks Starship and Blue Moon.

Starship test flight early Thursday morning which ended as an almost 100% successful missions, meeting almost all of its goals. While the booster was lost prior to ocean splashdown, the more important part, the second stage, reached space and conducted several in-space tests.

Thursday morning Starship test launch. This has the biggest hope of being a 100% successful flight but how do you watch it? Here are the details below.

Starship testing is back this week with both the first stage Super Heavy booster and second stage Starship on their respective test/launch stands. Both vehicles either attempted or completed static fires this week.

According to Artemis program. In a meeting, slides showed Starship Flight 3 being the first mission to demonstrate in-orbit propellent transfer. However, the schedule is still up in the air.
