SpaceX moved Super Heavy Booster 22 to the launch pad at Starbase, Texas on November 10 for Starship Flight 15, scheduled for liftoff on Friday, November 13 at 5:45 p.m. EDT (2245 GMT).
Flight 15 will attempt the first-ever full recovery of an orbital rocket and spacecraft, with both the Super Heavy Booster and Starship Ship upper stage planned to land. The mission will also deploy 26 new Starlink V3 satellites into orbit.
Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster designed to return to the launch site for catch. SpaceX has already test-fired the engines on the Flight 15 vehicles and completed a suspended squeeze test on the booster at catch height.
