SpaceX assembles Starship V3, the world’s tallest rocket, ahead of IPO
SpaceX has fully assembled its 124-metre Starship V3 for the first time, setting a new record for the tallest rocket. The vehicle, stacked at the Starbase site in south Texas, features upgraded Raptor engines and design changes aimed at improving booster recovery and reuse. SpaceX has completed static-fire and fueling rehearsal tests and is preparing the next Starship test flight from a new launch pad. The flight path and recovery plans differ from earlier missions.
