SpaceX's Starship V3 made its debut launch on May 22 from the company's Starbase in South Texas, marking a pivotal moment after a seven-month hiatus due to upgrades and prior testing setbacks. This 408-foot-tall spacecraft, equipped with the new Raptor 3 engine, is designed to support NASA's Artemis missions, including Artemis 3 and Artemis 4, which aim to land astronauts on the moon. Although the recent flight encountered engine issues and the Super Heavy booster failed to achieve a soft landing, SpaceX deemed the mission a success. The company is now focused on resolving the booster’s landing failure, as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration has grounded Starship pending investigation. Upcoming missions will include reaching Earth orbit and testing in-orbit propellant transfers, essential for future deep-space missions. SpaceX plans to integrate a life-support system into Starship for Artemis 4, while also preparing for a series of increasingly complex test flights. Elon Musk has set high expectations for Starship's operational capacity, targeting over 10,000 launches annually in the future.
