Brian Wang The SpaceX Starship 33 will be the first block 2 design. Block 2 will have more payload mass capacity. It will have a lower launch cost than the block 1 design. SpaceX Starship 33 should fly around January 11, 2025. There are approvals for up to 25 launches of SpaceX Starship in 2025. SLS: Reduced payload fairing volume to 600 cubic meters, optimizing for mass rather than volume SpaceX Starship Block 3 SpaceX’s Starship Block 3 is expected to be built by late 2025 or early 2026. The timeline depends on the success of the Block 2 tests and the availability of the Raptor 3 engines. If significant lessons are learned from the Block 2 tests, adjustments might be made to the design or construction timeline of Block 3. SpaceX’s Starship Block 3 is set to feature some significant upgrades over its predecessors. Here are the key specifications based on the latest information for block 3: Height: Approximately 150 meters tall, significantly taller than the current Block 1 which stands at about 121 meters. Thrust: Elon Musk has indicated that Starship version 3 will have about three times the thrust of the Saturn V, which implies it will be much more powerful than Block 1 and 2. Payload Capacity: When operating as a tanker, Starship V3 should be capable of close to 200 tons of payload to Low Earth Orbit (LEO). For other configurations, the payload capacity could vary but is expected to be significantly higher than previous versions due to the increased thrust and size. Ship 33 (the first version 2 or block 2 (aka "Starship 2") test ship to be built) had a full cryogenic test today at SpaceX's Massey's testing site.
