SpaceX Spacecraft Flight 15 Explained
Happy Wednesday, space fans. We’re now two days away from SpaceX’s planned launch of its Starship Flight 15 test mission, so I wanted to take a moment to give you a glimpse of what to expect.
If you’re wondering how the rocket assembly is going, our spaceflight editor Mike Wall has this update on the Starship Flight 15’s Super Heavy booster goes through final capture tests yesterday. Flight 15 will mark the first time SpaceX attempts to land and catch both the Super Heavy booster (which it has done several times) and the ship from orbit.
If successful, it will be the first complete recovery of an entire orbital rocket from space.
