Starship's next test flight is getting close, and big changes are happening fast at the SpaceX launch site in Texas. One key upgrade is a new system on the launch tower that will connect the rocket to ground power and fuel.
At the same time that Ship 37 is receiving its final engines and getting closer to testing, there is also a major update from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The agency has announced the next team of astronauts who will fly to the International Space Station using the Crew Dragon spacecraft, along with their official launch date.
We’ll be looking at all these details and more, but before that, don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the latest space industry news.
Work is still happening at Starbase to prepare for the next flight. The team is working fast to fix everything and get ready for more tests. A recent notice from the Federal Communications Commission has revealed a possible date for the next Starship test. According to the document, the flight might happen on August 4th, 2025. This document lists the purpose of the mission and says that August 4 is when the operation is expected to start.
These types of notices don’t always get a lot of attention, but in the past, they have been pretty accurate. For recent Starship launches, these dates have usually matched the real launch dates. So there’s a good chance that the flight will happen close to August 4.
Some people may be upset that the flight won’t happen in July. But early August is still quick, considering the damage from Ship 36’s last flight. SpaceX had to fix the launch pad and make upgrades.
