SpaceX to conduct 15th starship test launch in mid-November
The mission will mark the first attempt to catch both Starship and its Super Heavy V3 booster at the launch site.
SpaceX is set to launch the 15th test flight of its Starship rocket system as early as November 13, pending regulatory approval, the company announced. This mission will be the first attempt to capture both Starship and its Super Heavy V3 booster at the launch site, according to SpaceX. The 75-minute launch window opens at 4:45pm CT (22:45 GMT).
The Starship system is anticipated to orbit the Earth around 14 times during a 22-hour flight. In addition to the test, the mission will carry 26 Starlink V3 satellites. The 14th Starship test flight occurred on September 28, during which SpaceX launched the spacecraft with 26 Starlink internet satellites, aiming for a 10-hour mission.
However, the spacecraft descended seven hours early, exploded upon splashdown in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile.
