SpaceX je pomerio sledeći probni let Starshipa na početak aprila. Gornja etapa Ship 39 uspešno je prošla "krioproof" testiranje, a donja etapa Super Heavy je spremna za predletne probe. Verzija 3 je veća i snažnija, sa ciljem da zapravo dosegne orbitu i omogući dopunjavanje goriva u svemiru — ključan korak za Artemis i dalja istraživanja Meseca i Marsa.
Starship Odložen Do Aprila — Musk Najavljuje Debi Verzije 3, Ship 39 Prošao „Krioproof“ Test
SpaceX Starship rocket launch slips to April, Elon Musk says
Elon Musk je najavio da je sledeći probni let rakete Starship pomeren na početak aprila, čime je debi redizajnirane verzije 3 odložen za nekoliko nedelja. SpaceX nastavlja pripreme u Starbaseu u Teksasu, a kompanija je objavila da je gornja etapa označena kao Ship 39 uspešno prošla tzv. "krioproof" testiranje.
Šta je poznato
U postu na platformi X (ranije Twitter) 7. marta, Musk je napisao da bi sledeći let mogao da bude "za četiri nedelje", odnosno početkom aprila. Krajem januara je ranije rekao da je kompanija "na oko šest nedelja" od narednog testa, što bi ukazivalo na početak marta — razlog promene rasporeda nije zvanično naveden.
Napredak u pripremama
SpaceX je 7. marta objavio da je gornja etapa Starshipa (Ship 39) uspešno demonstrirala punjenje pogonskog goriva i strukturnu otpornost tokom "krioproof" testa — važan korak pre leta. Dva dana kasnije, 9. marta, kompanija je najavila da je i donja etapa, super teški pojačivač Super Heavy, spremna za predletne probe.
Šta donosi Verzija 3
Verzija 3 (V3) predstavlja dalji razvoj Starshipa: očekuje se da bude nešto viša i znatno moćnija od prethodne verzije. Kada je kompletno složena, vozilo je visoko oko oko 408 feet (≈124 m), što ga čini jednim od najvećih i najmoćnijih lansirnih sistema na svetu.
Zašto je važno
V3 je dizajnirana da bude sposoban da dostigne orbitu i da izvrši dopunjavanje goriva u svemiru — složen manevar koji zahteva susret i spajanje dva Starshipa opremljena priključcima za dopremanje tečnog, super-hlađenog goriva. Takva mogućnost je ključna za misije do Meseca u okviru NASA-inog programa Artemis, ali i za dalja planiranja prema Marsu.
Kontekst i dosadašnji testovi
SpaceX je izveo pet testnih letova Starshipa tokom 2025. godine: prva tri su završila neuspešno, dok su poslednja dva (avgust i oktobar) ocenjena kao uspešna. Poslednji let prethodne iteracije (Verzija 2) održan je 13. oktobra 2025. V3 bi trebalo da bude prvi dizajn koji ima realnu šansu da dosegne orbitu i demonstrira orbitalno dopunjavanje goriva.
Pritisak zbog NASA-inog programa
SpaceX i konkurent Blue Origin nalaze se pod pritiskom NASA-e da pripreme lunarne sisteme koji bi mogli biti korišćeni u misiji Artemis 4 2028. SpaceX je ranije dobio ugovor za razvoj konfiguracije Starshipa za ljudsko sletanje, ali je NASA nagovestila mogućnost razmatranja i drugih opcija zbog sporijeg napredovanja razvoja.
Napomena: SpaceX zvanično nije objasnio razloge za ovu poslednju odgodu. Kompanija nastavlja testiranja i provere kako bi osigurala bezbednost i spremnost letelice pre sledećeg pokušaja.

Firefly's Blue Ghost lunar lander captures its shadow on the moon's surface after completing a successful landing March 2 near a volcanic feature on the moon called Mons Latreille. The vehicle became the first of two landers manufactured by a U.S. company to reach the moon is 2025 in crucial missions to lay the groundwork for NASA to return humans to the lunar surface in the years ahead.
Athena, the lunar lander on Intuitive Machines' IM-2 mission, captured this image of the moon's surface with Earth seen in the distance ahead of a March 6 landing attempt. While the lander was the second U.S. vehicle to reach the moon within a week, it ultimately landed on its side, which hindered much of its mission.
NASA astronaut Suni Williams is helped out of a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft March 18 following a return to Earth after a nine-month stay at the International Space Station. She and NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore crewed the Boeing Starliner, which had launched in June 2024 on a failed test flight that was meant to return them to Earth a few days later.
Butch Wilmore reacts after he and Suni Williams and two other astronauts splashed down March 18 in a Crew Dragon space capsule following their return to earth from the International Space Station off the coast of Florida. The astronauts' extended stay at the orbital outpost dominated the news cycle for months.

Launched March 31 from Florida using a SpaceX Dragon capsule, the mission became t first ever human spaceflight over the Earth's polar regions.
Pop musician Katy Perry emerges April 14 from Blue Origin's New Shepard capsule in West Texas following a brief flight to the edge of space. Perry was part of an all-women crew that also included broadcast journalist Gayle King that took the ride from Blue Origin's facility called Launch Site One. The high-profile launch attracted plenty of headlines and even drew some backlash from those who viewed the mission as a wasteful publicity stunt.
Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket carrying astronauts Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyen, Kerianne Flynn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, and Lauren Sanchez lifts off April 14 from Launch Site One near Van Horn, Texas. Blue Origin has since launched five more human spaceflights on the New Shepard in 2025.

Formerly called Project Kuiper, the venture has since been renamed Amazon Leo. Since its debut April launch, Amazon Leo has deployed 180 of 3,000 satellites planned for its first constellation, which could challenge SpaceX's Starlink.
A group of Blue Origin employees with their friends and families gather on the beach in Cape Canaveral for the launch of Blue Origin's second New Glenn rocket in 2025. Following its January debut, the rocket launched for the second time Nov. 13 from Launch Complex 36 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, sending NASA's twin ESCAPADE spacecraft on their trek to Mars.
Darkness falls Nov. 9 as a Blue Origin New Glenn rocket is prepped for its second-ever launch from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Blue Origin is developing the towering rocket for heavy-lift missions that could see Jeff Bezos' company compete with Elon Musk and SpaceX.

A SpaceX Super Heavy booster carrying the Starship spacecraft lifts off Oct. 13, 2025, on its 11th ever test flight at the company's launch pad in Starbase, Texas. The launch was Starship's fifth of 2025, and second consecutive successful test flight following a year that was early on marked by explosive failures. SpaceX is developing the rocket for future missions that would help NASA astronauts land on the moon and also potentially transport the first humans to Mars.
