SpaceX today officially announced that it is expecting to launch Starship test flight 3 as early as March 14 but the company is still waiting for regulatory approval to conduct this test.
Yesterday a live stream link of the test appeared on social media site X which revealed the possible launch date but an official confirmation was still awaited.
This announcement follows the recent wet dress rehearsal to check pre-flight preparations and boast the vehicle and systems for the launch day.
Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) has been looking into the second Starship flight from November last year and wrapped up its investigation.
So, the FAA license is the only milestone that SpaceX needs to achieve to fly this massive integrated Starship flight test 3 on March 14. However, the company could push the launch date further based on the license approval.
