SPACEX STARSHIP, orbital launch closer than ever

These engines are considered by the company more powerful and at the same time more reliable than their predecessors, read the Raptor 1, and therefore are ideal for the task that is now imminent. For fuel load testing, on the Starbase launch pad in Boca Chica (Texas) we find the SN20 (Ship 20) prototype of the spacecraft mounted on the top of the Super Heavy (Booster 4), but for orbital flight, the prototypes must be selected Ship 22 and Booster 7, Even in the absence of official confirmation in this regard, which will arrive only when the launch date is also reported.

So, everything will depend on FAA approval of the license, at which point the road to launch will be cleared, pending fine-tuning and various ground tests. SpaceX’s orbital launch is An important date to say the least Like the Starship, the rocket that will reach the Raptor 2, the US space agency NASA will use it, not only supplies but also astronauts to the moon, starting with the Artemis III mission, the mission that will see humans return to our satellite with great fanfare.
