Billionaire Elon Musk referred to a message published on his company’s SpaceX page regarding the new launch of the Starship spacecraft.

Starship’s third flight test could take place as early as March 14, after regulatory approval. Live broadcast of the flight tests will begin approximately 30 minutes before the start. Starship’s second flight test yielded a number of important results and provided invaluable data to continue Starship’s rapid development. Each of these flight tests remains, as before, a test. They are not performed in a laboratory or test stand; They place flight equipment in the summer environment to maximize learning. SpaceX

The company said the third flight should allow for a series of ambitious missions, including successful stage separation, the first restart of the Raptor’s engine into space, and a controlled reentry. It will also fly in a new orbit: Starship should land in the Indian Ocean.

During the second launch, SpaceX managed to reach the separation stage, but the launch vehicle exploded a few minutes later. The Starship spacecraft continued its flight, but exploded approximately 8 minutes after it started.
