Starship launches Flight 13, the second launch of the Block 3 vehicle from Pad 2 at Starbase. This is the third attempt following a T-0 abort on July 16, and a weather scrub on July 23. Launch Window: July 24th at 5:45PM to 7:15PM CDT (22:45-00:15 UTC) Mission: Starship's 13th …
SpaceX is about to launch their second V3 Starship as well as a deploying the first operational V3 Starlink satellites! It will still be a sub-orbital mission with similar objectives to Flight 12, but an important step towards orbit and full reuse. Want to learn what's new and different about …
13th test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. Second flight of Starship V3. For the first time, Starship will carry 20 V3 Starlink satellites to space, which will extend solar arrays and antennas and will attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa and the larger Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers. 6 of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions. Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test.
