Musk’s timeline would place Starship’s fourth orbital test flight sometime in June, but SpaceX will need to wait for the FAA to wrap up its investigation.

A former contractor of Boeing valve supplier Aerojet Rocketdyne is urging the space agency to “redouble” safety checks before attempting another launch.

The company proposes installing infrastructure that would support as many as 44 Starship launches annually but will first need to pass an environmental assessment.

The space agency and manufacturer are now targeting a launch no earlier than 6:16 p.m. EDT on Friday, May 17.

SpaceX reveals its first-generation extravehicular activity (EVA) spacesuits, designed to be worn in the vacuum of space as well as the confines of a spacecraft.

The launch of the spacecraft headed to the International Space Station is one of the last steps before its certification for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

According to the company’s website, customers can book missions to Earth orbit as early as this year, with flights to the International Space Station following in 2025.

NASA intends to deploy the reusable capsule for crew rotation missions to the International Space Station, but the program has been marred by delays.

The spacecraft’s return marks SpaceX’s 30th commercial resupply to the International Space Station.

NASA’s nuclear-powered, dual-quadcopter rotorcraft is expected to travel tens of miles in an hour, much farther than any existing rover.
