Starship is a two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle under development by SpaceX. As of June 2024, it is the most massive and most powerful vehicle ever to fly.[4] Starship is intended to lower launch costs significantly via economies of scale. This is achieved by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline, and adapting it to a wide range of space missions.[6][7] Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's decades-long reusable launch system development program and ambition of colonizing Mars. NASA has a contract with SpaceX to develop the Starship human landing system (HLS) for the agency's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the moon for the first time since 1972. NASA is funding billions of dollars into Starship, which SpaceX has been privately developing since the mid-2010s. The HLS variant of Starship will land astronauts near the moon's South Pole during the Artemis III and Artemis IV missions, with the first landing targeted for 2026.
