The Starship Super Heavy vehicle is scheduled to lift off from SpaceX’s launch site in South Texas, during a 120-minute window that opens at 8:00AM ET.
SpaceX is preparing to send its massive Starship rocket on its fourth flight test on Thursday. You can watch the livestream via SpaceX’s account on X, which is scheduled to start at 7:30AM ET, or about 30 minutes before liftoff.
This launch builds on what SpaceX learned during Starship’s flight in March, which saw the craft successfully launch into space and complete several objectives before contact with the vehicle was lost. SpaceX says it has made several hardware and software updates to address previous issues. The third flight test was the most successful to date, with the first two Starship launches ending with fiery explosions shortly after liftoff.
