Elon Musk, CEO and co-founder of SpaceX, has publicly announced the company will launch the Starship spacecraft into orbit in the near future. The CEO has already stated that this launch test will most likely take place in March, but even then, it will still take place at the end of the launch window. Elon Musk stated in his most recent tweet about the Starship that the orbital launch test, which would include the Starship and Super Heavy Booster on a full stack, will occur next month. Before the scheduled launch, there are a number of things that the corporation and Starship teams need to think about and examine for the spaceship.

In order to concentrate on its key test known as the static fire, the Starship already started the process of de-stacking the Ship from its Booster in January. The team will then be able to decide whether to continue working on the project or go back and address any problems. Musk has said that the SpaceX Starship orbital launch test will take place in February, but there are still issues with the rockets that need to be resolved before they can launch. Fans should not panic, though, as prior and current allegations center on the launch in March, which SpaceX is eagerly anticipating as its next step toward its goals for Mars.

The next phase is to fire all of the vehicle's engines at maximum power, which is the setting the launch team will use to lift the vehicle off the ground for its real takeoff. The Booster and the Starship Ship 24 will remain docked in the Mechazilla's arms during the static fire test, therefore no lift-off will occur.

Due to tests, Starship fans will regrettably have nothing to do in Texas in February; nevertheless, starting in March, it will start its trip to integrate itself into the aerospace industry.
