SpaceX said it is shooting for Monday for the seventh test flight of Starship from Boca Chica/Starbase.
The company said a live webcast will start approximately 35 minutes before liftoff, which is scheduled to take place at 4 p.m. The webcast can be viewed at spacex.com. The company said the launch schedule could change.
“The upcoming flight test will launch a new generation ship with significant upgrades, attempt Starship’s first payload deployment test, fly multiple reentry experiments geared towards ship catch and reuse, and launch and return the Super Heavy booster,” SpaceX said.
Cameron County on Friday afternoon announced that Boca Chica Beach and S.H. 4 leading to SpaceX would be closed Monday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Alternative launch dates are Tuesday and Wednesday, with the same times applicable, according to the county.
