The largest rocket in the world will become even greater: Starship should fly to Mars (video)

But it was the last Starship test in this version, called Version 2. Now Spaceh is preparing for a rocket test in Version 3, Space writes. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel. Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! According to Spaceh's statement, the new version of the multiple Starship missile will be used for flights to the Earth orbit, as well as for missions to Mars and the Moon.

The next version of the rocket, Starship Version 3, will be approximately 1. 5 meters higher in the assembled form. Although it looks like Starship Version 2, the new rocket will be significantly upgraded. For example, more powerful Raptor engines will be installed on Ship Version 3 ship. Energy and avionic storage will also be upgraded, which will allow long flights into space. The Ship ship will install new joint adapters that will be used to join two such ships in orbit.

In order for the Ship ship to be able to take long flights in space, it needs additional fuel. Next year, SpaceX is going to carry out the first refueling of the Starship spacecraft using a filling ship. The Super Heavy Version 3 accelerator will be equipped with a new fuel line that supplies liquid methane and liquid oxygen to Raptor engines. Also, a new version of the amplifier will have updated "flaps" needed for accurate landing on the starting ground.

Special starting tower manipulators capture these designs on Super Heavy after planting. The Starship V3 Version 3 spacecraft will be able to fly on Mars and the Moon. It is planned that at the end of next year, if the test is successful, one or more SpaceX ships will go to the red planet without a crew. In the long run, SpaceX plans to create Starship Version 4 and this rocket will be even greater. The height of the megaret in the assembled form should be 142 meters.

This rocket will have more Raptor engines and its first flight is expected in 2027. 2027 can be a landmark for both SpaceX and NASA. It is this year that the US space agency plans to send to the surface of the moon astronauts for the first time since the 1970s. Starship spaceship will be used as a monthly landing module for astronauts. Focus has written more about how the 11th test flight of Starship rocket went.

Also focus is that NASA is going to send astronauts to flight around the moon to prepare for the future planting on the Earth's satellite surface. Focus also wrote that the solar wind tore off a piece of tail of a bright comet that flies to the ground. One of the most striking this year is considered a comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon). Soon it will approach the most close distance to the Earth and can be seen in the night sky.
