SpaceX plans to send five uncrewed Starships to Mars within the next two years, CEO Elon Musk announced on X last week.
Musk said SpaceX has to wait for the next Earth-Mars launch window before sending the missions, and should the uncrewed ships land safely, Musk anticipates sending crewed missions to Mars during the 2028-29 launch window.
However, if complications arise, the timeline for crewed missions will be extended by another two years, Musk added.
In June, SpaceX achieved a significant milestone when a Starship rocket survived a high-speed, fiery return from space. It successfully completed the hypersonic re-entry and demonstrated a breakthrough landing in the Indian Ocean. This was the rocket’s fourth attempt at a full test mission around the globe.
“No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity. We want to enable anyone who wants to be a space traveler to go to Mars! That means you or your family or friends – anyone who dreams of great adventure.”
“Eventually, there will be thousands of Starships going to Mars and it will a glorious sight to see! Can you imagine? Wow.”
SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed Starships to Mars in two years.
