SpaceX’s Starship rocket is scheduled to launch from Starbase, Texas, on Thursday, July 16, with a launch window opening at 5:45 p.m. CDT. The rocket will aim to complete similar objectives targeted on the previous flight test, including a successful launch, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and landing burn at an offshore landing point in the Gulf.
The upcoming flight will build on the previous test, with several modifications to hardware and software to address issues seen on the previous flight. This launch is part of SpaceX’s ongoing development of the Starship program, which is set to move to Florida in the future.
