SpaceX Targets Historic Double-Catch for Starship Flight 15 on Nov. 13

SpaceX is poised to make aerospace history during the upcoming 15th test flight of its Starship megarocket, targeted for Friday, November 13. For the first time, the mission will attempt to return both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage to the launch site for a mid-air catch.

Building on previous successes of catching the Super Heavy booster with the tower's mechanical arms, Flight 15 aims for a full double recovery of an orbital-class launch system. Success will mark a monumental breakthrough in achieving rapid and full reusability for interplanetary travel.
