SpaceX has not yet set a target date for its Flight 7 Starship launch test from its Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach, but with about two weeks remaining in the year, a potential flight in early or mid-January 2025 may be the most likely. Officials with Cameron County, Texas — a region that includes Starbase — have not issued any road closures for the remainder of December. Such road closure notices typically accompany imminent Starship launch tests by SpaceX.
"The Flight 7 mission profile involves launch of the combined Starship/Super Heavy vehicle from Boca Chica, Texas, a return to the launch site of the Super Heavy booster rocket for a catch attempt by the launch tower, and a water landing of the Starship vehicle in the Indian Ocean west of Australia," FAA officials wrote in the license update.
