    SpaceX to Launch Uncrewed Starships to Mars in 2026, Says Elon Musk

    SpaceX Plans First Uncrewed Starship Missions to Mars in Two Years, Says Elon Musk

    SpaceX is set to launch its first uncrewed Starship missions to Mars within the next two years, according to a social media post by CEO Elon Musk on X. The missions will coincide with the next Earth-Mars transfer window, when the two planets are closest.

    Uncrewed Starship Missions to Test Mars Landings

    Musk confirmed that these initial launches will be uncrewed, focusing on testing the reliability of Starship’s ability to land intact on Mars. He emphasised that if these landings are successful, SpaceX plans to begin crewed missions to the Red Planet within four years.

    “The flight rate will grow exponentially from there, with the ultimate goal of building a self-sustaining city on Mars in about 20 years,” Musk added.

    Starship’s Successful Testing Continues

    In recent years, SpaceX has made significant progress with its Starship program. In April, Musk estimated that an uncrewed Starship would reach Mars within five years, with the first crewed missions following in seven years. This timeline aligns with SpaceX’s goal to establish long-term human settlement on Mars.

    In June, SpaceX achieved a major milestone when a Starship rocket survived a hypersonic return from space and completed a successful landing in the Indian Ocean. This breakthrough came after three previous failed attempts.

    Starship’s Role in Space Exploration

    SpaceX’s Starship is designed to be a large, multipurpose spacecraft that can carry both people and cargo. In addition to Mars, Musk has ambitious plans to use Starship for missions to the Moon later this decade. As SpaceX continues to test and refine the spacecraft, the company edges closer to realising Musk’s vision of human space exploration beyond Earth.
