SpaceX is gearing up to launch Starship's fourth test flight just after sunrise Thursday from Texas. The launch comes two days after the Federal Aviation Administration approved license authorization for the launch.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Tuesday said it issued a license for SpaceX's fourth flight of its Starship rocket system, another test mission along the company's path to building a reusable satellite launcher and moon lander. SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, is aiming to launch its nearly 400-foot-tall (122-meter), two-stage Starship as early as Thursday at 7 a.m. CDT (1200 GMT) from its rocket facilities in south Texas, from which past flights in the company's test-to-failure development campaign have launched. Starship represents the future of SpaceX's dominant satellite launch and astronaut business.
