The third test flight of Starship is scheduled to take place morning (March 14).

March 13, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) declared that the mission has been granted a launch license. In a post on X this afternoon, the FAA stated, “The FAA determined SpaceX met all safety, environmental, policy, and financial responsibility requirements.”

The largest and most potent rocket ever constructed, Starship, is slated to launch on Thursday from SpaceX’s South Texas-based Starbase facility within a 110-minute window that begins at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT).

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, believes that the 400-foot-tall (122-meter) Starship’s quick and complete reusability will enable human settlement of the moon and Mars.

So far, the megarocket has completed two test flights, in April and November of last year. But on the April flight, which terminated after barely four minutes, Starship’s two stages did not split as intended.

Although things went more smoothly in November (stage separation, for instance), both stages on that mission also ended up exploding high in the sky.

Late last month, the FAA concluded its investigation into the events that transpired on the November trip. However, the agency took a little longer to grant a license for today’s third launch.

The flight on Thursday will be unlike any other—it will be braver than the others.

“The third flight test aims to build on what we’ve learned from previous flights while attempting a number of ambitious objectives, including the successful ascent burn of both stages, opening and closing Starship’s payload door, a propellant transfer demonstration during the upper stage’s coast phase, the first ever re-light of a Raptor engine while in space, and a controlled reentry of Starship,” SpaceX wrote in a mission description.

Furthermore, the goal of this Thursday’s test launch is to lower Starship’s top stage into the Indian Ocean. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean in the vicinity of Hawaii served as the target splashdown zone for the first two test missions.
