Watch live as SpaceX launches its Starship 9 and Super Heavy booster on an important test flight. This follows two back-to-back failures of the Starship upper stage.
The launch—Starship’s ninth full test—will lift off from SpaceX’s Starbase site at Boca Chica Beach, Texas. It’s set for 6:30 p.m. CDT / 7:30 p.m. EDT / 2330 UTC on Tuesday, May 27.
A key moment in this mission will be the first reuse of a Super Heavy booster. Instead of trying to land it with the launch tower, SpaceX will let it splash down hard in the ocean to gather more data.
