SpaceX prepara o Starship V3 para voo de teste após hiato de sete meses

A SpaceX está preparando a terceira versão do foguete Starship para um lançamento de teste que pode ocorrer já na quarta-feira. O veículo passou por extensos redesenhos após uma série de contratempos em 2025. O sucesso é visto como fundamental para as ambições mais amplas da empresa no lançamento espacial e empreendimentos relacionados.

O próximo voo marcará o primeiro teste do Starship V3 desde outubro do ano passado. Os engenheiros incorporaram centenas de mudanças com base em voos anteriores, incluindo um design mais leve do motor Raptor e um sistema de propulsão aprimorado para o estágio superior. Um teste de disparo estático bem-sucedido foi concluído no início de maio, após tentativas anteriores terem sido interrompidas por problemas de sensores e abortagens automáticas.

NASA's Artemis II crew—commander Reid Wiseman, pilot Victor Glover, mission specialists Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen—is in quarantine at Kennedy Space Center, with the Space Launch System rocket returned to the pad after repairs. Launch opportunities open as early as April 1 for the first human lunar trip since 1972, featuring a flyby of the moon's far side.

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.

Nasa's Artemis 2 Orion capsule launched successfully from Kennedy Space Center with four astronauts heading to the Moon on a 400,000-kilometer journey. The rocket reached supersonic speed and is now traveling at 27,000 km/h. The automated launch control system has taken over.

Tokyo-based space startup Space One canceled the launch of its Kairos No. 3 small rocket shortly before liftoff on March 4 from Spaceport Kii in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture, after a safety system activated. The launch was scheduled for 11 a.m., but halted 30 seconds prior. The company plans a press conference that afternoon to explain the incident.

A two-day countdown is underway for NASA's Artemis II mission, scheduled to launch four astronauts on a flight around the moon from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Liftoff is set for a two-hour window opening at 6:24 pm EDT on Wednesday, with backup opportunities through April 6. The crew will test the Orion spacecraft on a 10-day journey, marking humans' first deep space voyage in more than 50 years.
