The launch from SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, will be the second since the failed flight in April when the system exploded shortly after liftoff.
The test launch of the Starship system from the American aerospace company SpaceX may take place on November 17. This is reported on the company’s website.
The flight is awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration and other regulators. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said the Starship launch this month is contingent on government approval for a test flight.
The launch from SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, will be the second since the failed flight in April when the system exploded shortly after liftoff.
The second flight will likely follow the same plan as the first test, with SpaceX launching at a target landing site off the coast of Hawaii. The Super Heavy launch vehicle itself will land in the Gulf of Mexico.
Let’s recall that Starship’s first orbital flight test was supposed to take place on April 17, but it was canceled 40 seconds before launch due to problems with one of the carrier’s pressure valves.
On April 20, the experimental Starship rocket developed by SpaceX exploded in the Gulf of Mexico four minutes after launch.
