December mission will test the entire system for the first time, involving the company’s 70-meter Super Heavy booster to lift the 50-meter Starship spacecraft into orbit
SpaceX is targeting early December to launch its giant Starship rocket system into orbit for the first time, a pivotal demonstration flight as it aims to fly NASA astronauts to the moon in the next few years, a U.S. official said on Monday.
The December mission will test the entire system for the first time, involving the company’s 230-foot Super Heavy booster to lift the 160-foot Starship spacecraft into orbit. The Super Heavy booster would return to land, while the orbital Starship spacecraft would re-enter Earth’s atmosphere roughly 90 minutes later to splashdown dozens of miles off a Hawaiian coast, according to regulatory documents SpaceX filed last year.
The FAA would determine whether to grant SpaceX a license “only after SpaceX provides all outstanding information and the agency can fully analyze it,” an FAA spokesman said Monday. SpaceX did not return a request for comment.
