is being launched
Explanation:
Singladura can mean the following:
Diccionario de la lengua española © 2005 Espasa-Calpe S.A., Madrid:
singladura
f. mar. Distancia recorrida por una nave en veinticuatro horas:
recorrió doscientas millas en su singladura.
mar. Rumbo de la nave:
singladura norte.
Rumbo,camino o desarrollo de cualquier cosa o actividad:
la singladura de nuestro proyecto no ha sido pacífica ni serena.

From: http://www.wordreference.com/definicion/singladura

Therefore, "the project is starting its journey...", "The course of the project is being set...", etc. I would, however, keep it short and simple.

The project begins with the first.....


Explanation:
I don't get the impression that any launching is involved here, for if the mechanical systems fail, goodbye to the launching! I think the project begins with tests on said systems.
