The Starship Human Landing System program includes the development and operational use of several Starship spacecraft variants by SpaceX, including the Starship HLS ship—optimized to operate on and in the vicinity of the Moon—as well as a Starship depot that will store propellant in Earth orbit, and the Starship tanker designed to fly multiple trips to orbit from Earth's surface to ...
The Starship HLS is a modified configuration of SpaceX's Starship spacecraft, optimized to operate on and around the Moon. As a result, the heat shield and flight control surfaces — parts of the main Starship design needed for atmospheric re-entry — are not included in Starship HLS. The entire spacecraft will land on the Moon and will then ...
A similar test occurred during Starship's third test flight, though the transfer during that test was between two tanks on the same vehicle. [2] The ability to refuel a Starship in low orbit is critical for the Artemis program, [3] as Starship HLS requires approximately ten tanker launches to reach the lunar surface. [1]
By early 2020, plans for Orion and the HLS to rendezvous with the Gateway were abandoned in favour of direct docking of Orion and HLS, and delivery of the Gateway after Artemis III. [ 23 ] [ 24 ] On 10 August 2021, an Office of Inspector General audit reported a conclusion that the spacesuits would not be ready until April 2025 at the earliest ...

On July 11, after returning to OLM-A for engine testing, B7 experienced a detonation underneath the engines during an attempted 33-engine spin prime test. [32] It returned to OLM-A on August 4 with only the 20 outer Raptor engines, [ 33 ] and completed its first single-engine static fire test on August 9, followed by a second two days later. [ 34 ]
The Dynetics HLS scored highest of the proposed landers in NASA's initial technical review in August 2020. The largest issue identified according to NASA is the advanced experimental thrust structure used in the Dynetics design, and that it could pose a threat to the development time as it relies on immature technology.
