SpaceX is set to launch its most powerful rocket, Super Heavy-Starship, from Texas on Thursday, following a NASA spacewalk and the maiden flight of Jeff Bezos' New Glenn rocket from Florida. The launch, delayed by weather, is part of a busy day in space exploration.
After launching more than 100 small payloads from California on Tuesday and two commercial moon landers from Florida early Wednesday, both atop Falcon 9 rockets, SpaceX readied a huge Super Heavy-Starship for a ground-shaking launch from the Texas Gulf Coast to kick off the program's seventh test flight.
As with the two most recent test flights, the first stage will boost the Starship upper stage out of the dense lower atmosphere before falling away and heading back to the launch site for recovery. The Starship, meanwhile, will continue to space on the power of six Raptor engines of its own.For these initial test flights, the Starships do not attempt to reach orbit.
