Elon Musk: Starship Expected to Achieve at Least Two Flights Per Week by the Second Half of Next Year
Odaily Report: SpaceX released its third-quarter financial results after U.S. stock market hours this morning. During the investor call following the earnings release, Elon Musk discussed the progress of Starship.
Elon Musk stated that the 15th test flight is expected to take place next month, at which point the company will attempt to recover both the booster and the spacecraft. If successful, this would mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch vehicle, representing a significant technical milestone.
Elon Musk: "We expect Starship to achieve weekly flights at some point in the first half of next year, then reach twice per week in the second half of next year, and possibly even more frequently by the end of next year. As we solve the challenges of rapid and full reusability, Starship's launch frequency will increase substantially."
