Starship

The Starship HLS is essential for Artemis III as there are currently no other landing modules capable of transporting astronauts to the lunar surface.

Blue Origin's first Blue Moon landing could occur ahead of SpaceX's Starship lunar lander for the Artemis program.

Starship 2 is preparing for its last launch.

SpaceX plans to build future Starship launch pads at Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral SFS, Florida.

The next test flight of SpaceX's next-generation rocket, Starship, will be the final flight of the current model, Version 2.

Version 3 of Starship will stand at a height of 124.4 meters, surpassing Version 2's height of 121 meters.

SpaceX plans to upgrade to Version 3 of Starship, which will feature Raptor 3 engines and the ability to carry over 100 tons into orbit.

The theoretical plan for Starship is to move cargo or personnel extremely quickly to any location on the planet in under one hour, which could revolutionize military logistics.

The Starship rocket, still in development, has attracted the attention of the U.S. Department of War for its potential to facilitate point-to-point transport.

Planned in-space propellant transfer tests for Starship were delayed from this year to next, putting the Artemis 3 schedule in mid-2027 into question.

SpaceX’s next-generation rocket Starship completed its tenth test launch on August 26 and accomplished all major objectives.

Planned in-space propellant transfer tests for Starship, a key technology for missions beyond low Earth orbit, were delayed from this year to next.

The third Starship test flight completed ascent but lost attitude control in space, leading to an uncontrolled reentry over the Indian Ocean.

Starship Flight 10 lasted approximately 66 and a half minutes and largely followed its planned test profile.

Completing an uncrewed Starship lunar lander test flight that touches down on the Moon and takes off again will require multiple Starship tanker launches to fill the lander's tanks with liquid oxygen and methane.

Starship completed ascent on Flight 10 without incident while the Super Heavy booster returned to a designated area off the coast and performed a soft splashdown after hovering just off the water.

Exterior cameras on Starship connected via Starlink provided high-resolution video of the vehicle during reentry on Flight 10.

Starship Flight 10 lifted off from Starbase, Texas at 7:30 pm EDT on August 26, 2025 after scrubbed attempts on August 24 and August 25.

During Flight 10, Starship opened its slot-shaped payload door and released eight Starlink mass simulators using the "Pez" dispenser.
