SpaceX officially announced NEW LAUNCH DATE for first Starship Orbital flight after SCRUB
SpaceX is aiming to launch its next-generation Starship rocket on April 20, the second attempt for the groundbreaking flight after a pressurization issue upended the company’s initial test.
" Teams are working towards Thursday, April 20 for the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket", the company announced in an updated description of the highly anticipated test mission.
This is because SpaceX will need a minimum of two days to prepare the Starship rocket system for another attempt at orbital flight, which the company hopes will be the initial step on a human journey back to the moon and eventually Mars.
Right now, a huge caravan of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen trucks is refilling the OTF tanks.
Well, this is " Fate", Musk confirmed about the date.
SpaceX will have a Thursday launch window that opens at 8:28 a.m. CT and closes at 9:30 a.m. CT. The company will also live stream the launch attempt on its website, starting about 45 minutes before liftoff.
On Monday, the massive Super Heavy rocket booster, which houses 33 engines, was expected to roar to life and vault the Starship spacecraft off its ground pad, which lies within SpaceX facilities on the coast of South Texas, sending the vehicle soaring out over the Gulf of Mexico.
“A pressurant valve appears to be frozen, so unless it starts operating soon, no launch today,” SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted.
The team continued to execute some launch operations and kept the countdown clock going in a practice run referred to as a “wet dress rehearsal,” even after making the decision to wave off the launch attempt. They ultimately paused the countdown clock with 40 seconds left.
