The seventh flight test of Starship is preparing to launch as soon as Monday, January 13, 2025. Teams at Starbase are keeping an eye on weather conditions for preflight operations. The upcoming flight test will launch a new generation ship with significant upgrades, attempt Starship’s first payload deployment test, fly multiple reentry experiments geared towards ship catch and reuse, and launch and return the Super Heavy booster.
A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 35 minutes before liftoff. You can watch here . . .
