The planned tests for Starship aim to demonstrate its ability to refuel in orbit, marking a significant leap towards supporting NASA's Artemis III lunar mission.
According to Kent Chojnacki, the upcoming refueling test will be a crucial step, potentially enabling the transfer of large payloads beyond Earth’s atmosphere.
Chojnacki highlights that successfully transferring propellant between two Starships represents a monumental achievement, paving the way for future space logistics and transportation.
The ambitious plan involves two Starships launched weeks apart, with one acting as a chaser to refuel the first in low Earth orbit.
