SpaceX prepares for sixth Starship launch and booster catch attempt in Texas
SpaceX is set to launch its Starship rocket for the sixth time on November 19, aiming to catch the booster with its "chopstick" arms. This follows a successful booster catch during the fifth test flight in October. The Federal Aviation Administration has approved this flight under the same license, allowing for a quicker turnaround. The launch will take place at SpaceX's Starbase in Texas, with a livestream available on the company's website. This test will also involve the upper stage reigniting one of its engines in space for the first time. SpaceX aims to improve the reusability of both the booster and upper stage with each flight.
