16+ Spacex Starship Launch Site PNG. Spacex's starship spacecraft and super heavy rocket (collectively referred to as starship) represent a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to earth orbit, the moon, mars and beyond. Spacex starship sn3 has arrived at the launch site and is being integrated ahead of a test campaign that includes pressure testing, static fire(s) and a hop.
Engineers will soon launch the starship, which is 30 feet wide, to 50,000 feet and return it to earth in the most ambitious test so far for the vertically landing spacecraft. The booster will return to land at the launch site on its 6 legs. The test article will rise to a maximum altitude of about 150 meters and translate a similar distance downrange.
Spacex hopes for starship to be used as a commercial spacecraft that will be able to take off and land again, like an airplane.
