SpaceX is targeting Flight 15 of its Starship program for launch on November 13. The mission aims to achieve a significant milestone by attempting to catch both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship ship shortly after separation. This follows the success of previous flights where the booster was caught by the Mechazilla arms at the launch tower.
The orbital flight test will continue to demonstrate the reusability capabilities of the massive rocket system. SpaceX has been rapidly iterating on the Starship design, and this flight represents another step toward operational missions. The launch will occur from the Starbase in Texas, with live coverage expected on the company's website and various space news outlets.
Engineers will be monitoring telemetry closely to ensure the safe return and capture of both vehicle stages.
