SpaceX prepara a versão 3 aprimorada da Starship para lançamento em maio

A SpaceX concluiu testes terrestres fundamentais para o foguete Starship Versão 3 antes de um voo de estreia planejado a partir do sul do Texas. O veículo aprimorado realizará experimentos de reabastecimento em órbita, cruciais para futuras missões lunares. O lançamento está agendado para terça-feira, 19 de maio.

Engenheiros empilharam a Starship Versão 3, mais alta e potente, no local de lançamento próximo à fronteira entre os EUA e o México. Na segunda-feira, a equipe carregou mais de 11 milhões de libras de propelentes de metano e oxigênio líquido durante um ensaio final de contagem regressiva. Em seguida, as equipes de solo removeram o veículo para instalar o hardware de terminação de voo.

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.

NASA has canceled the Exploration Upper Stage for its Space Launch System rocket as part of a major revision to the Artemis program. The decision, announced by Administrator Jared Isaacman, aims to accelerate lunar landings by focusing on surface activities and using more efficient upper stages. This move supports testing of human landers from SpaceX and Blue Origin ahead of missions in 2027 and 2028.

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.

NASA has overhauled its Artemis program, postponing the first human moon landing until the Artemis IV mission in early 2028. The changes, announced by Administrator Jared Isaacman on February 27, 2026, aim to increase launch frequency and reduce risks after repeated delays with the Space Launch System rocket. An additional test flight, now Artemis III, will focus on low-Earth orbit rendezvous with commercial lunar landers.

Four astronauts are heading to the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. The crew launched at 18:35 local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard the Orion capsule atop the Space Launch System. The mission builds on Artemis 1 and sets milestones for women and non-white astronauts.
