SpaceX says it’s ready to launch the seventh test flight of its Starship prototype. The company posted the announcement on its website, saying the upcoming launch will test a “new generation” of the Starship with significant upgrades.
The mission will attempt to deploy a payload from the Starship for the first time and will include “multiple reentry experiments.”
SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk made a social media post saying the next launch could happen as soon as Friday. Cameron County has yet to issue a beach and road closure notice for the next expected launch from Boca Chica Beach.
