SpaceX is gearing up for their third Starship mission on March 14, following two previous launches that ended in explosions. Despite the setbacks, the company deemed the missions successful due to the valuable data collected.
The upcoming mission is set to stream live on X, Elon Musk’s social media platform, pending US regulatory approval. The main focus of this mission will be testing various tasks including propellant transfer, engine relight in space, and a new landing destination in the Indian Ocean.
Previous missions in April and November 2023 faced issues with stage separation and a liquid oxygen explosion, but SpaceX remains determined to continue the rapid development of Starship.
The launch is scheduled for March 14 at 8 a.m. ET, pending regulatory approval and favorable weather conditions. Viewers can watch the livestream of the mission on SpaceX’s landing page and X account 30 minutes before the launch.
Despite the challenges faced in the past, SpaceX is optimistic about the future of the Starship program and is committed to pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting mission on The Bib Theorists.
