After the long weekend, SpaceX picked up progress with its Starship rocket in Texas ahead of the third test flight attempt. As of now, Starship might launch in March if all tests before the attempt are successful and engineers can comfortably clear the rocket for liftoff. Footage from multiple local media outlets covering SpaceX's launch site in Texas shows that the company might have ordered components for one of Starship's most important subsystems, the flight termination system or FTS. The deliveries follow a de-stack of the rocket at the launch pad, with SpaceX also moving a Starship second-stage spacecraft to its test mount.

长周末过后，SpaceX 在德克萨斯州的 Starship 火箭取得了进展，即将进行第三次试飞。截至目前，如果尝试前的所有测试都成功并且工程师可以轻松地让火箭升空，那么“星舰”可能会在三月份发射。多家当地媒体报道 SpaceX 德克萨斯州发射场的视频显示，该公司可能已经为 Starship 最重要的子系统之一——飞行终止系统（FTS）订购了组件。此次交付是在火箭在发射台解叠之后进行的，SpaceX 还将 Starship 第二级航天器移至其测试底座。

Possible Static Fires In Play As SpaceX Potentially Orders Starship FTS Equipment

In order to launch Starship, SpaceX, like other mega rocket operators, has to install explosives on the rocket to ensure that it will destroy itself mid air in case of an anomaly. These systems have a finite life, preventing the rocket operator from installing them at the time of the vehicle's production. For Starship, this means that momentum for a third test flight might finally be building up in Boca Chica, particularly since SpaceX has also transported the third test flight's second stage Starship rocket to a test pad.

SpaceX 可能订购 Starship FTS 设备，可能引发静电火灾为了发射 Starship，SpaceX 和其他大型火箭运营商一样，必须在火箭上安装炸药，以确保在出现异常情况时火箭能够在空中自毁。这些系统的使用寿命有限，火箭操作员无法在车辆生产时安装它们。对于 Starship 来说，这意味着第三次试飞的势头可能最终会在博卡奇卡形成，特别是因为 SpaceX 还将第三次试飞的第二级 Starship 火箭运送到了测试台。

This pad typically sees static fire tests both before potential launches and as a regular part of the Starship test campaign. Since SpaceX typically confirms such tests almost immediately after they occur, and other Starship tests, such as tank pressurization, take place on the launch pad, there may be a Starship second stage static fire soon.

该发射台通常会在潜在发射之前和作为星舰测试活动的常规部分进行静态火灾测试。由于 SpaceX 通常在此类测试发生后几乎立即进行确认，而其他 Starship 测试（例如储罐加压）是在发射台上进行的，因此 Starship 第二级可能很快就会发生静态火灾。

Starship's Super Heavy booster, which has also left the launch site, uses 33 Raptor engines tuned for atmospheric use only. The second stage features slightly different engines that are optimized for the vacuum of space, and due to the massive power of its engines, static fires for the Super Heavy typically take place on the launch pad.

Starship 的超重型助推器也已离开发射场，它使用 33 个 Raptor 发动机，专为大气使用而调整。第二级的发动机略有不同，这些发动机针对太空真空进行了优化，并且由于其发动机功率巨大，超重型火箭的静态点火通常发生在发射台上。

An FTS system is installed on both the booster and the spacecraft, and along with Starship's engines, it has drawn quite a bit of attention to itself during the current test campaign of the integrated Starship stack. SpaceX's first Starship test flight, which took place almost a year back then, led to the first and second stages failing to successfully separate after several of the first stage's engines lost their power along the way.

助推器和飞船上都安装了 FTS 系统，与 Starship 的发动机一起，在当前 Starship 集成堆栈的测试活动中，它引起了相当多的关注。 SpaceX 的首次星际飞船试飞大约一年前进行，导致第一级和第二级未能成功分离，因为第一级的几个发动机在途中失去动力。

At the point of stage separation, the Starship Super Heavy did multiple somersaults before its FTS successfully destroyed the rocket. A later investigation revealed that the rocket was too strong, and SpaceX's second Starship test flight in November saw successful first stage detonation after stage separation. The Starship second stage's FTS also successfully detonated during its coast phase, with SpaceX keeping quite about that test's performance since then.

在级分离点，超重型星舰在其 FTS 成功摧毁火箭之前进行了多次翻跟头。后来的调查显示，火箭的威力太强，SpaceX 在 11 月份的第二次​​ Starship 试飞中，一级分离后成功实现了一级爆炸。星舰第二级的 FTS 也在其海岸阶段成功引爆，自那以后 SpaceX 对这次测试的表现一直保持沉默。

A closer look at today's images shows that heavy duty explosives also made their way to the site, along with less powerful ones that cannot destroy Starship on Earth, in air or in space.

仔细观察今天的图像可以发现，重型炸药也到达了现场，还有一些威力较小的炸药无法摧毁地球、空中或太空中的星舰。

SpaceX followed up the explosives delivery in Texas with a successful launch to geosynchronous orbit from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The launch was the firm's 16th for the year, and it comes after a record setting 2023, which saw SpaceX become the first firm to complete close to a hundred orbital launches in a calendar year.

继得克萨斯州爆炸物交付之后，SpaceX 从佛罗里达州卡纳维拉尔角太空部队站成功发射到地球同步轨道。此次发射是该公司今年的第 16 次发射，此前 2023 年创下了纪录，SpaceX 成为第一家在一年内完成近百次轨道发射的公司。

It sent the Indonesian state owned Telkomsat's multi million dollar communications satellite to orbit. After today's mission, SpaceX is close to completing three hundred recoveries of an orbital class rocket (today's recovery was the 275th), just as it puts the final touches on the world's largest rocket in Texas.

它将印度尼西亚国有 Telkomsat 耗资数百万美元的通信卫星送入轨道。在今天的任务之后，SpaceX 即将完成对轨道级火箭的 300 次回收（今天的回收是第 275 次），就像它在德克萨斯州对世界上最大的火箭进行最后的润色一样。
