A SpaceX made a post on the official page on social network X where it indicates that you are planning to launch a new launch of the Starship rocket on November 13th.
This new opportunity to launch Starship is the flight 15 mission and, admitting that SpaceX receives ‘green light’ from regulatory authorities and that the state of time collaborates with the right conditions for take-off, Elon Musk’s company will have an opportunity to test the rocket and the super heavy thruster.
This Flight 15 mission promises to be special for those following the progress of SpaceX, since this will be the first time the company will try to recover both Super Heavy and Starship.
Remember that on Starship's last mission SpaceX was forced to reduce the goal to which it had been proposed. Instead of the 10 o'clock Starship was supposed to be in orbit, the rocket was only two hours. With Flight 15, SpaceX is now waiting for Starship to turn our planet around for over 22 hours, a period in which 26 new Starlink V3 satellites will also be placed in orbit.
SpaceX will try to recover both Super Heavy and Starship by using the tower and its “arms” that allow them to catch the structures in the air. If you succeed, SpaceX will take a clear step forward in fulfilling the goal of reusing these two parts of your launch system on future missions.
You can see above a small video shared by SpaceX where you can see the kind of maneuver the company wants to perform.
