The first phase will see Rocket Lab attempt to recover a full Electron first stage from the ocean downrange of Launch Complex 1 and have it shipped back to Rocket Lab\u2019s Production Complex for refurbishment. The second phase will see Electron\u2019s first stage captured mid-air by helicopter, before the stage is transported back to Launch Complex 1 for refurbishment and relaunch.

Although the number of large-satellite launch contracts has stagnated, customer demand for much smaller payloads to a variety of orbits has grown. As a result, a number of companies have been founded in the United States and elsewhere to develop small rockets for smallsat launch services. SpaceX&#8217;s entry into this market with the much larger Falcon 9 rocket (at a price of about $15,000 per kilogram) represents a threat to those companies both from a standpoint of securing launch contracts but also by attracting venture-capital funding.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>However, Greg Autry, a professor who directs the Southern California Commercial Spaceflight Initiative, said he expects that payload integrators such as Spaceflight will be most hurt by this move.

This is where the company <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/science\/2019\/07\/spacexs-starship-prototype-has-taken-flight-for-the-first-time\/\">recently flew<\/a> a stubby prototype of Starship and is also building a full-scale version of Starship for suborbital tests called Starship Mk1. A separate team of SpaceX engineers is building a similar prototype, Starship Mk2, in Cocoa, Florida.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*** <strong>And Musk says a Starship orbital demonstrators will fly within a month<\/strong> or so: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-elon-musk-says-orbital-starship-debut-weeks-away\/\">SpaceX CEO Elon Musk says first orbital Starship prototype flight debut is just weeks away &#8211; Teslarati<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>According to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, one or both of the company\u2019s two orbital Starship prototypes could be \u201cready to fly\u201d \u2013 or nearly so \u2013 by the end of August. Even if Musk is off by one or several months, it would still make for a spectacular achievement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>The focus of the conversation that led Musk to the classic Musk-time prediction was the topic of a long-promised presentation on SpaceX\u2019s Starship program. Although just a few weeks shy of the usual schedule, 2019\u2019s presentation \u2013 set for August 24th in Boca Chica, Texas \u2013 more or less follows an annual September update tradition that Musk has consistently followed since 2016. Each year, Musk has given the public a glimpse into the constantly evolving process of designing SpaceX\u2019s next-generation Mars-bound rocket. Despite the tradition\u2019s consistency, 2019 is simply different.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>*** <strong>Outdoor assembly of Starship demonstrators in Florida and Texas quickens<\/strong> as the public watches from outside the fences: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-texas-florida-orbital-starships-rapid-progress\/\">SpaceX&#8217;s Florida Starship hits growth spurt as Texas Starship begins bulkhead installation &#8211; Teslarati<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>In the last week alone, SpaceX\u2019s twin orbital Starship prototypes have made some truly jaw-dropping progress. Onlookers have witnessed Florida\u2019s Starship push through a rapid growth spurt, while the company\u2019s Texas team has begun to install propellant tank bulkheads and work on a triple-Raptor thrust structure.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has suggested that one or both of the orbital-class Starship prototypes could be \u201calmost ready to fly\u201d by August 24th, the date of the CEO\u2019s next official update on Starship (formerly BFR and ITS). Although the actual challenge of building a massive, orbital-class launch vehicle is far subtler than the visible steelwork needed to build its primary structure and pressure vessels, the veritable leaps forward made in both Texas and Florida in the last 7-10 days are extremely encouraging signs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For example: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-texas-starship-second-tank-dome-elon-musk-visit\/\">SpaceX preps Texas Starship&#8217;s second tank dome for installation in latest milestone &#8211; Teslarati<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Just left Starship Texas build site.
