SpaceX公司宣布,他们最快将在2月份开启第三次Starship星舰的飞行测试。Starship星舰是SpaceX公司研发的新型太空载具,旨在实现载人登月和火星探险等任务。然而,自从2023年首次试飞以来,星舰均以失败告终。
SpaceX公司客户运营和集成副总裁杰西卡·詹森(Jessica Jensen)在当地时间周二举行的NASA电话会议上表示,他们已经在尝试获取第三次飞行的批准,并预计将在2月份获批。她还透露,SpaceX目前正在完成第二次飞行测试后的整改要求,并有望在一月份做好准备。
尽管上一次测试中,星舰成功升空并通过了级间热分离,但助推器在级分离后不久经历了一次非计划分解,星舰发动机也在前往太空的途中继续燃烧了几分钟。这些问题使得SpaceX公司不得不对星舰进行进一步改进,以保证第三次试飞的顺利进行。
尽管前两次试飞失败,但SpaceX公司并未放弃,他们坚信通过不断改进和优化,星舰有望在未来实现载人航天任务。对于第三次试飞,公司表示将从联邦航空管理局(FAA)获得许可证。

SpaceX announced that they will launch the third flight test of the Starship vehicle最快 in February. The Starship is a new spacecraft developed by SpaceX with the goal of achieving lunar and Mars missions among others. However, since the first test flight in 2023, all attempts have ended in failure.
Jessica Jensen, SpaceX’s vice president of customer operations and integration, said at a NASA conference call on Tuesday that the company is seeking approval for the third flight and expects to receive it in February. She also revealed that SpaceX is currently completing the rectification requirements following the second flight test and aims to be ready in January.
Although the last test saw the Starship successfully launch and pass the stage separation, the booster experienced an unplanned decomposition shortly after separation, and the engine continued to burn for several minutes during its journey to space. These issues have prompted SpaceX to further improve the Starship to ensure a successful third test flight.
Despite two consecutive failed test flights, SpaceX remains committed to the cause, believing that continuous improvements and optimizations will enable the Starship to achieve manned space missions in the future. The company stated that they will obtain a license for the third test flight from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
