SpaceX is a pioneering aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company that has achieved numerous historic milestones in space exploration, including the development of the Falcon 1, Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, Dragon spacecraft, and Starship. SpaceX is known for being the first private company to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, delivering cargo to and from the International Space Station, and conducting the first private human spaceflight missions.

SpaceX

SpaceX designs, manufactures and launches the world’s most advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to revolutionize space transportation, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary. 

SpaceX has gained worldwide attention for a series of historic milestones. It is the only private company ever to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit, which it first accomplished in December 2010. The company made history again in May 2012 when its Dragon spacecraft attached to the International Space Station, exchanged cargo payloads, and returned safely to Earth — a technically challenging feat previously accomplished only by governments. Since then Dragon has delivered cargo to and from the space station multiple times, providing regular cargo resupply missions for NASA.

The third flight test of Starship is targeted to launch Thursday, March 14. The 110-minute test window opens at 7:00 a.m. CT.

You can watch the live launch webcast at SpaceX.com/launches or on X.com/SpaceX starting approximately 30 minutes ahead of liftoff. 

The third flight test aims to build on what we’ve learned from previous flights while attempting a number of ambitious objectives. Read more about the test at spacex.com/launches 

This rapid iterative development approach has been the basis for all of SpaceX’s major innovative advancements, including Falcon, Dragon, and Starlink. Recursive improvement is essential as we work to build a fully reusable transportation system capable of carrying both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, help humanity return to the Moon, and ultimately travel to Mars and beyond.

On November 18, 2023, Starship successfully lifted off at 7:02 a.m. CT from Starbase on its second integrated flight test. 

While it didn’t happen in a lab or on a test stand, it was
absolutely a test. What we did with this second flight will provide invaluable
data to continue rapidly developing Starship. 

The test achieved a number of major milestones, helping us
improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary. The
team at Starbase is already working final preparations on the vehicles slated
for use in Starship’s third flight test. 

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting
second flight test of Starship!

Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting second flight test of Starship!

Starship returned to integrated flight testing with its second launch from Starbase in Texas. While it didn’t happen in a lab or on a test stand, it was absolutely a test. What we did today will provide invaluable data to continue rapidly developing Starship.

Starship successfully lifted off under the power of all 33 Raptor engines on the Super Heavy Booster and made it through a successful stage separation. The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly after its boostback burn following the successful stage separation while Starship's 6 second stage Raptor engines fired for several minutes as the Ship climbed to an altitude of ~150 kilometers.

With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s test will help us improve Starship’s reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary. 

Starship is preparing for launch on its second flight test on Friday, November 17. A two-hour launch window opens at 7 a.m. CT.  

The second flight test of a fully integrated Starship will debut several upgrades to the vehicle and ground infrastructure, some as a direct result of lessons learned from Starship’s first flight test. Recursive improvement is essential as we work to build a fully reusable transportation system capable of carrying both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, help humanity return to the Moon, and ultimately travel to Mars and beyond.
