SpaceX Starship is Gearing Up for Its Fifth Test Flight
The latest static fire test from SpaceX is leading to the anticipated event coming soon from the company, the Starship's fifth test flight that will commence come September 2024. For now, SpaceX is dotting all of the I's and crossing the T's before it launches the Starship and Super Heavy, hoping for another successful run like the fourth launch.
The Reusable Rocket Bound for Mars: Starship
Originally called the Mars Colonial Transporter, SpaceX announced Starship's development more than a decade ago with its CEO, Elon Musk, making the rocket known to the world. However, since its first inception in 2018, the rocket went on to go on low-altitude test flights the following year, with the SpaceX founder claiming that he would move to Mars and be transported by the Starship.
The next frontier of humans in the cosmos would be Mars, with NASA and other space agencies have yet to send astronauts to the planet that would begin explorations and determine if it is an ideal habitat. From 2020 until the first half of 2024, Starship was not yet able to make its mark in the space race, with a significant setback in its licenses, as well asthe FAA's environmental review.
SpaceX's two-stage rocket, which consists of the Super Heavy Booster first stage and Starship as its second stage, first saw massive success last June with it being able to launch and retrieve the rocket in one piece. The testing does not stop there as a fifth test flight is coming soon, with SpaceX ensuring that all cylinders are locked in with its latest static fire for Starship's Raptor engines.
