SpaceX has been granted a license by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the third test flight of its Starship Super Heavy vehicle. The launch is expected to take place as soon as Thursday morning, with a 110-minute launch window opening at 7AM CT / 8AM ET / 5AM PT on March 14th.
Watchers are advised to get up early in case of cancellation or an early launch, as previous test flights have ended explosively, causing damage and debris. The FAA has provided SpaceX with a list of corrective actions to address safety issues.
For this third launch, SpaceX is targeting a splashdown in the Indian Ocean and aiming to try in-space engine burns while maximizing public safety. With safety being a top priority, SpaceX is working closely with the FAA to ensure a successful test flight.
The Starship Super Heavy vehicle is a crucial part of SpaceX’s mission to eventually send humans to Mars. The upcoming test flight will be a significant milestone in the development of this ambitious project.
