SpaceX to launch Starship megarocket on Flight 7 test mission - YouTube Watch On Yes, you will be able to watch SpaceX's Starship Flight 7 test launch online. You can use several different livestreams to track the mission, including one we'll simulcast on Space.com. SpaceX's official launch webcast will stream live on the company's X social media account , as well as its Flight 7 mission page. The livestream should begin about 30 minutes before liftoff at 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. NASASpaceflight.com is offering its own livestream YouTube. The channel also also offers 24/7 live views of SpaceX's Starship prepartions and Starbase operations. 🚀 SpaceX Launches Starship Flight 7 and Attempts Another Booster Catch - YouTube Watch On If you live in South Texas or plan to drive to Starbase, you can try to watch the launch live in person, but you will have to find your own viewing site. SpaceX does not offer an official viewing location for its Starship test flights. The Starship pad is visible from several public beaches near SpaceX's Starbase site. These include South Padre Island, where you can find clear line-of-sight views of SpaceX's Starship pad from Isla Blanca Park and its Cameron County Amphitheater. The nearby Port Isabel can also be a good viewing area, but be sure to scout potenital sites in advance. Traffic can be heavy driving into both sites, so plan to arrive early. And don't forget to pack snacks, folding chairs, bug spray and other essentials! How long is SpaceX's Starship Flight 7? SpaceX's Starship Flight 7 test flight is expected to last about just over 66 minutes, according to a flight plan released by SpaceX. Per that plan, the Flight 7 Ship vehicle is expected to fly on a trajectory very similar to that of SpaceX's Flight 6 Starship launch in November. In that previous flight, Starship launched on a suborbital trajectory that reentered over the Indian Ocean, west of Australia. During its hour-long flight, the Ship vehicle is expected to attempt to deploy its 10 simulated Starlink satellites about 17 minutes after liftoff. At the 37-minute mark, the spacecraft is expected to relight one of its six Raptor engines in a relight demonstration similar to one performed on Flight 6. "While in space, Starship will deploy 10 Starlink simulators, similar in size and weight to next-generation Starlink satellites as the first exercise of a satellite deploy mission," SpaceX wrote in a mission overview. "The Starlink simulators will be on the same suborbital trajectory as Starship, with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean." SpaceX's mission profile for the Starship Flight 7 test flight.

SpaceX is hoping to catch the giant rocket stages just like the company did in October during its Starship Flight 5 test flight, when the rocket was captured by giant metal "chopsticks" on what SpaceX calls Mechazilla, its Starship launch pad structure. "Distinct vehicle and pad criteria must be met prior to a return and catch of the Super Heavy booster, requiring healthy systems on the booster and tower and a final manual command from the mission's Flight Director," SpaceX wrote in its overview. If those criteria aren't met, SpaceX will forego the rocket catch attempt and Super Heavy will automatically divert itself to a soft-landing attempt in the Gulf of Mexico. That's exactly what happened in November during the Flight 6 test flight. For Flight 7, both the Super Heavy booster and the Mechazilla structure are carrying hardware upgrades to make a catch more likely, "including protections to the sensors on the tower chopsticks that were damaged at launch" during the Flight 6 test flight, SpaceX said.
