IT Home reported on March 6 that Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, recently posted on the X platform that his company carried out propellant refueling tests for the test flight of the Starship rocket, and announced in the accompanying text that Starship is preparing for the third test flight. And in a recent interview, Musk said that SpaceX's third Starship test flight could be launched in early March.
According to the American news network Space, Starship has passed key fuel tests, laying the groundwork for the third launch attempt of the world's largest rocket, which has attracted much attention. The gleaming stainless steel rocket and its super-heavy booster stand 400 feet (122 meters) tall and were filled with more than 10 million pounds of liquid methane, liquid oxygen propellant during a recent launch exercise.
As reported by IT House in February this year, SpaceX is in full swing preparing for the third test flight of its giant starship, and has released a set of ** as proof. On the night of Feb. 10, SpaceX stacked two huge components, the Super Heavy booster and the 50-meter-tall Starship upper deck, on Starbase's orbital launcher. The work is in preparation for Starship's third test flight, and SpaceX plans to launch in the coming weeks, provided that Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) permits are in place in time.
And in January this year, SpaceX said that it would start the third Starship flight test as soon as February.
