SpaceX to launch Starship on 6th flight, attempt booster catch - YouTube Watch On Yes, you will be able to watch SpaceX's Starship Flight 6 test launch online. As with past Starship launches, there are several livestreams you'll be able to follow to see the launch, including on Space.com. SpaceX's official launch livestream can be found on the company's X account (formerly Twitter), as well as its Flight 6 mission page, starting 30 minutes before liftoff at about 4:30p.m. EST (2030 GMT). Space.com's VideoFromSpace YouTube channel will simulcast SpaceX's official webcast, and it will appear on this page and at the top of our homepage. This timing could change if SpaceX changes the launch time. The NASASpaceflight.com YouTube channel, as well as Everyday Astronaut, are some examples of other sites that will offer live views of SpaceX's Starship activities at Starbase and other locations ahead of the launch. NASASpaceflight.com, in particular, will likely feature live views during the fueling processes and early prelaunch checks before SpaceX's webcast begins. Starbase Live: 24/7 Starship & Super Heavy Development From SpaceX's Boca Chica Facility - YouTube Watch On If you are able to drive to Starbase, you can try to watch the launch live in person, but do be aware that SpaceX doesn't have an official viewing site. However, the Starship pad is visible from several public beaches in the surrounding area. At South Padre Island, for example, you can find good views and a clear line of sight of SpaceX's Starship pad from Isla Blanca Park and Cameron County Amphitheater. This spot is where I watched SpaceX's Starship Flight 1 from in April 2023. The shoreline of nearby Port Isabel can also be a good viewing zone for launches. Traffic can be heavy into both sites, so arriving early is a good idea. Don't forget to pack a folding chair, snacks, water, bug spray and other essentials. How long is SpaceX's Starship Flight 6? SpaceX's mission profile for the Starship Flight 6 test flight. (Image credit: SpaceX) SpaceX's Flight 6 Starship test flight should last just over an hour, based on its current 65-minute flight plan. It is expected to fly on a similar trajectory to Flight 5, which launched a Starship vehicle on a path that entered space, coasted for a period, and then reentered over the Indian Ocean, west of Australia. "The returning booster will slow down from supersonic speeds, resulting in audible sonic booms in the area around the landing zone ," SpaceX wrote in its mission overview. "Starship’s upper stage will fly the same suborbital trajectory as the previous flight test, with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean. An additional objective for this flight will be attempting an in-space burn using a single Raptor engine, further demonstrating the capabilities required to conduct a ship deorbit burn prior to orbital missions.." While SpaceX hopes to recover the Super Heavy booster by catching it in giant metal "chopsticks" on the launch tower, the company could wave off the attempt if any factor is not perfect. If any criteria aren't met, SpaceX could instead opt to soft-land the rocket in the Gulf of Mexico, as it did on Flight 4. "We accept no compromises when it comes to ensuring the safety of the public and our team, and the return will only take place if conditions are right," SpaceX wrote. Swipe to scroll horizontally
