SpaceX Starship Rocket Integrated Flight Test 2 Launch - 18th November 2023

SpaceX Starship Rocket Integrated Flight Test 2 - 18th November 2023 Watch as SpaceX launches their second Integrated Flight Test mission on the fully stacked Starship rocket FOR THE SECOND TIME EVER on Saturday 18th November 2023 from Orbital Launch Mount A at SpaceX Space Launch Facility at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas. The launch is targeted at 9:00 am CT with a 20-minute launch window. This launch attempt follows the previous attempt on the 20th April 2023 failed due to a RUD, but after successful launch and MAX-Q. After the hot-stage, the first stage did encounter a RUD (Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly), but the mission as a whole was very successful. The world’s most powerful, biggest and most impressive rocket attempts its first Orbital flight test. Starship is a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, help humanity return to the Moon and travel to Mars and beyond. With a test such as this, success is measured by how much we can learn, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances the development of Starship. To date, the SpaceX team has completed multiple sub-orbital flight tests of Starship’s upper stage from Starbase, successfully demonstrating an unprecedented approach to controlled flight. These flight tests helped validate the vehicle’s design, proving Starship can fly through the subsonic phase of entry before re-lighting its engines and flipping itself to a vertical configuration for landing. In addition to the testing of Starship’s upper stage, the team has conducted numerous tests of the Super Heavy rocket, which include the increasingly complex static fires that led to a full-duration 31 Raptor engine test – the largest number of simultaneous rocket engine ignitions in history. The team has also constructed the world’s tallest rocket launch and catch tower. At 146 meters, or nearly 500 feet tall, the launch and catch tower is designed to support vehicle integration, launch, and catch of the Super Heavy rocket booster. For the first flight test, the team will not attempt a vertical landing of Starship or a catch of the Super Heavy booster.
