Boca Chica, United States: SpaceX's next test flight of its Starship megarocket Sunday could mark a world first: catching the returning first-stage booster using the launch tower's "chopstick" arms -- a crucial step in the company's quest for rapid reusability.
The launch window opens at 7:00 am (1200 GMT) from the company's Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. A live webcast will be carried on SpaceX's website and its X account.
The company tweeted early Sunday that conditions appeared favorable for an on-time launch.
"The Starship team is go for prop load, and weather is looking ideal for today's flight test!" SpaceX said on X.
Liftoff "is currently targeted for 7:25 am."
