On May 21, 2026, a satellite from Vantor captured an impressive image of SpaceX's Starship V3 megarocket on the launch pad at the company's Starbase facility in South Texas. This version of Starship is the largest and most powerful yet, measuring 408 feet (124.4 meters) tall. The satellite, part of Vantor's WorldView Legion fleet, operates from an altitude of 322 miles (518 kilometers) and can resolve ground features as small as 11.8 inches (30 centimeters). Although SpaceX planned to launch Starship V3 on May 21, the attempt was called off due to technical issues that arose late in the countdown. The company is now targeting a new launch window on May 22, 2026, beginning at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT). This suborbital test flight will mark the first launch of Starship V3, which is designed to transition from testing to operational flights. Starship V3 is also expected to play a crucial role in NASA's Artemis missions, which aim to land astronauts on the moon. SpaceX still needs to demonstrate several key capabilities, such as in-space refueling and life-support systems, to achieve these ambitious goals.
