SpaceX a terminé des tests au sol cruciaux pour sa fusée Starship version 3 en amont d'un vol inaugural prévu depuis le sud du Texas. Le véhicule amélioré tentera des expériences de ravitaillement en orbite, essentielles pour les futures missions lunaires. Le décollage est prévu pour le mardi 19 mai.

Les ingénieurs ont assemblé le Starship version 3, plus grand et plus puissant, sur le site de lancement près de la frontière entre les États-Unis et le Mexique. Lundi, l'équipe a chargé plus de 11 millions de livres de méthane et d'oxygène liquide comme ergols lors d'une répétition finale du compte à rebours. Les équipes au sol ont ensuite retiré le véhicule pour installer le matériel de terminaison de vol.
