SpaceX's Starship looks amazing stacked for launch in these photos

Starship's first orbital test flight could occur as soon as next week, Elon Musk said.

SpaceX has shared some amazing photos of its giant Starship vehicle stacked for launch at the company's Starbase facility in South Texas. 

The coming liftoff is a big one — the first-ever orbital test flight of a Starship vehicle.

"Starship fully stacked at Starbase. The team is working towards a launch rehearsal next week followed by Starship's first integrated flight test ~week later pending regulatory approval," SpaceX said via Twitter on Thursday (April 6), where it shared three images of the huge stainless-steel rocket.

SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk suggested an even more accelerated timeline, saying via Twitter on Thursday that the launch could happen as soon as next week, provided regulatory approvals come through.

SpaceX had apparently been eyeing a liftoff as early as Monday (April 10), but on Friday (April 7), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) set a provisional launch window for the rocket of April 17 , between 7:00 and 11:00 a.m. EDT (1100 to 1500 GMT). This is a tentative target, however; the FAA has not yet issued a launch license for the Starship flight, as far as we know.

The stacked vehicle, consisting of a Starship upper stage atop a Super Heavy booster, stands 394 feet (120 meters) tall and will become the most powerful rocket ever launched when it takes flight.

The first Starship image SpaceX shared on Thursday shows the rocket at a distance, framed by the seaside scenery at Starbase, which is on Texas' Gulf Coast.

The next shot, a low-angled one, features a closer look at the fully reusable rocket, which is capable of carrying up to 150 metric tons to low Earth orbit. The third image, an overhead shot, shows an impressive closeup of the tip of the Ship 24 upper-stage prototype, which was stacked atop the Booster 7 first stage on Wednesday (April 5).

SpaceX has high hopes for Starship. The company is developing the vehicle to carry people and cargo to the moon and Mars — and some customers have already booked rides, even though Starship has not yet gone orbital.

For example, NASA picked Starship to be the first crewed lander for its Artemis moon-exploration program, with an initial astronaut touchdown targeted for 2025. 

In addition, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa bought a Starship trip around the moon , which he'll take with a crew of eight artists. And American engineer and entrepreneur Dennis Tito plans to fly on a different Starship circumlunar mission , along with his wife and other passengers yet to be named. The launch dates for these two private Starship moon missions have not yet been established.

• Ryan F. Mercer I used to be super excited about Starship. It might sound strange, but I've been so put off by Elon Musk's behavior, I'm not sure how much I actually care anymore. Starship who? Reply

Yacht StarShip - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (2024)

SpaceX Starship shines on pad ahead of 1st orbital launch (photos)

S paceX's Starship vehicle gleams in the sunrise over the company's Starbase facility in South Texas, where the vehicle waits ready to make its debut test flight. 

Starship's first-ever orbital flight is targeted for April 17 , but that date has yet to be confirmed. SpaceX engineers have completed a final "flight readiness review" for the launch system, which consists of a huge first-stage booster called Super Heavy and a 165-foot-tall (50 meters) upper-stage spacecraft known as Starship. 

SpaceX shared stunning photos of Starship on Wednesday, April 12, showing the vehicle stacked and ready for launch with the Texas sun rising in the background. The new photos shared on Twitter capture Starship up close, including an aerial view of the rocket's nose cone. The company also shared a video , taken on April 5, of the rocket being lifted into place on the launchpad. 

Related: Will SpaceX's Starship go orbital for the 1st time on April 17?

SpaceX founder Elon Musk announced the vehicle was "awaiting regulatory approval" but otherwise "ready to launch" on Sunday, April 9, via Twitter . SpaceX must secure a launch license from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration before the company can secure a flight date. 

The Starship spacecraft and Super Heavy rocket (collectively known as Starship) are designed to be fully and rapidly reusable. When the 394-foot-tall (120 meters) vehicle finally lifts off, it will become the most powerful rocket ever to fly. 

Pending all goes well during its test flight, SpaceX aims to use the Starship launch system for missions to the moon and Mars . In fact, NASA chose Starship to be the first crewed lander for its Artemis moon program, which aims to touch down near the lunar south pole in 2025. Additionally, Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa and American engineer and entrepreneur Dennis Tito have purchased two separate Starship trips around the moon.
