JAKARTA SpaceX, Elon Musk's space company, plans to test the Starship rocket for the third time. The rocket that uses the Super Heavy booster will launch on March 14. Even though the date has been planned, SpaceX says it is still awaiting approval from the US Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). In the absence of launch permits from the FAA, Starship cannot carry out flight tests. On February 26, the FAA has completed an investigation into the second Starship Orbital Flight Test (SOFT) accident. From the results of the FAA investigation, SpaceX must make 10 stages of improvement for Starship and 7 improvements for Super Heavy. Without working on those 17 stages of improvement, Starship was not allowed to launch. SpaceX did not explain whether such improvements had been completed. However, looking at the Starship launch determination, improvements may have been completed.SpaceX explained that testing of all three Starships was carried out to prove improvements from previous flights. The company said that Starship would use new trajectories and targeted landings in the Indian Ocean.

"This new flight path allows us to try new techniques such as engine combustion in space while maximizing public safety," SpaceX said, quoted from the company's blog on Friday, March 8. On this flight, SpaceX is targeting a number of successes, including burning during the second phase of separation, opening and closing Starship's cargo doors, propellant transfer demonstrations, re-ignitioning Raptor engines, and de-orbitStarship. If all these targets have been achieved, SpaceX has succeeded in developing Starship with rapid time. This success shows that Starship and Super Heavy boosters are getting closer to the Artemis mission or recursive launch of astronauts to the Moon. very important as our efforts to build a fully reusable transport system capable of carrying crews and cargo into Earth orbit, helping humanity return to the Moon, "explained SpaceX.
