SpaceX is preparing for the 11th full-scale test flight of its Starship rocket, aiming for a successful launch from South Texas to the Indian Ocean. Scheduled for 6:15 pm CDT, this mission will utilize a previously flown Super Heavy booster and test a new landing burn engine configuration designed to enhance resilience against engine failures.

SpaceX successfully conducted a six-engine static fire test of its Starship rocket, marking a significant step towards its ninth flight test scheduled potentially for May 21. The upcoming launch aims to demonstrate the reusability of the Super Heavy booster for the first time, following two previous flights that ended prematurely.
