SpaceX is nearing a third launch attempt for its giant Starship rocket, although the exact date and time remains a mystery. 

SpaceX 即将对其巨型星舰火箭进行第三次发射尝试，尽管确切的日期和时间仍然是个谜。

Boss Elon Musk said the 120-metre rocket is "preparing for launch" after the first two flights made it off the ground but exploded before reaching orbit. 

老板埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 表示，这枚 12​​0 米长的火箭正在“准备发射”，前两次飞行均已离开地面，但在到达轨道之前发生了爆炸。

Photos from the company's Starbase facility at Boca Chica, South Texas, showed the space vehicle in its fully stacked configuration, which at almost 400 feet is taller than the Statue of Liberty with Super Heavy boosters affixed below the Starship upper stage rocket that is a prototype of a design that is planned to be able to carry cargo and passengers into Earth orbit, to the moon and potentially enable interplanetary travel.

该公司位于德克萨斯州南部博卡奇卡的 Starbase 设施的照片显示了完全堆叠配置的太空飞行器，其高度几乎 400 英尺，比自由女神像高，超重型助推器固定在原型 Starship 上级火箭下方该设计计划能够将货物和乘客运送到地球轨道、月球，并有可能实现星际旅行。

The US Federal Aviation Administration carried out an investigation into November's Flight 2, which roared towards space for eight minutes before exploding, which was a few minutes better than the maiden flight in April 2023, which was blown up after the failure of its two stages to separate as planned. 

美国联邦航空管理局对 11 月的 2 号航班进行了调查，该航班在爆炸前向太空呼啸了 8 分钟，这比 2023 年 4 月的首飞要好几分钟，那次航班在两级失败后被炸毁。按计划分开。

In its own internal review, SpaceX identified the root causes of the explosion and suggested 17 corrective actions, which the FAA accepted as it closed its investigation a week ago.

在其内部审查中，SpaceX 确定了爆炸的根本原因，并提出了 17 项纠正措施建议，美国联邦航空局 (FAA) 在一周前结束调查时接受了这些建议。

Following a final evaluation, FAA had been pencilled in to have given the next launch license in February.

经过最终评估后，美国联邦航空局 (FAA) 预计将在二月份发放下一次发射许可证。

"Prior to the next launch, SpaceX must implement all corrective actions and receive a license modification from the FAA that addresses all safety, environmental and other applicable regulatory requirements," the agency said. 

该机构表示：“在下次发射之前，SpaceX 必须实施所有纠正措施，并获得美国联邦航空局 (FAA) 的许可证修改，以满足所有安全、环境和其他适用的监管要求。”

"The FAA is evaluating SpaceX’s license modification request and expects SpaceX to submit additional required information before a final determination can be made," they added.

他们补充说：“美国联邦航空局正在评估 SpaceX 的许可证修改请求，并希望 SpaceX 在做出最终决定之前提交更多所需信息。”

Following a successful 'wet dress rehearsal' on Sunday, the regulator is expected to give the final green light for the launch to take place in the first half of March. 

继周日成功的“彩排”之后，监管机构预计将为 3 月上半月的发布最终开绿灯。

The final rehearsal reportedly involved more than 10 million pounds of propellant loaded onto the Starship and Super Heavy, a mix of liquid oxygen and methane, with a "flight-like countdown" taken all the way to T-minus-10 seconds.

据报道，最后的排练涉及将超过 1000 万磅的推进剂装载到星舰和超重型推进剂上，推进剂是液氧和甲烷的混合物，“类似飞行的倒计时”一直持续到 T-10 秒。
