SpaceX prepara el Starship V3 para su vuelo de prueba tras una pausa de siete meses

SpaceX prepara la tercera versión de su cohete Starship para un lanzamiento de prueba que podría tener lugar tan pronto como este miércoles. El vehículo ha sido objeto de extensos rediseños tras una serie de contratiempos en 2025. El éxito se considera fundamental para las ambiciones generales de la compañía en el lanzamiento espacial y sus proyectos relacionados.

El próximo vuelo marcará la primera prueba del Starship V3 desde octubre del año pasado. Los ingenieros han incorporado cientos de cambios basados en vuelos anteriores, incluyendo un diseño más ligero del motor Raptor y un sistema de propulsión mejorado para la etapa superior. A principios de mayo se completó con éxito una prueba de encendido estático, después de que intentos previos fueran interrumpidos por problemas con los sensores y cancelaciones automáticas.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman told lawmakers that SpaceX and Blue Origin expect their lunar landers to be ready for the Artemis III mission in late 2027. The mission will now test the landers in Earth orbit rather than attempting a lunar landing. This change aims to reduce risks and increase launch frequency.

Blue Origin achieved a milestone by successfully landing and reusing the first stage of its New Glenn rocket for the third flight, but the upper stage failed to place its payload into the correct orbit. The launch occurred Sunday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The booster, named Never Tell Me The Odds, touched down on a ship in the Atlantic Ocean after its second flight.
