When and where. The fourth takeoff of Starship It is scheduled for tomorrow, June 6, starting at 07:00 am, local time (14:00, Spanish peninsular time). That will be when the launch window begins that SpaceX has to carry out its fourth operation with the largest rocket created by humanity.
The company has not specified how long this launch window will remain open. During his third attempt Last March they had a window of 110 minutes. We will have to wait to see if everything goes as planned when the countdown reaches zero.
As on previous occasions, the vehicle will take off from Starbasethe operations headquarters of the American company dedicated to the assembly and takeoff (and in the future the recovery) of these vehicles, in Boca Chica, Texas.
How to follow it from home. For those of us who cannot follow it from nearby, the official broadcast will be made through your account of Twitter (now x) and through its website. This broadcast will begin half an hour before the opening of the estimated takeoff time, that is, from 06:30 in Starbase, or 13:30, peninsular time (CEST).
From Xataka We will also monitor the takeoff live.
As in the third flight, the company, owned by magnate Elon Musk, will not broadcast the takeoff from the platform Youtubealthough there will be specialized channels that monitor such as NASASpaceflight either Everyday Astronaut.
What can we expect? Reentry continues to be the pending issue for this vehicle. Just a few days ago, Musk explained how the loss of just one of the ship’s tiles could mean the loss of the entire vehicle.
If everything goes in order, the mission will last approximately one hour and five minutes between takeoff and landing. During that time the ship will perform some of the standard flight maneuvers such as turning off and restarting the engines.
