How to watch SpaceX Starship Flight 4 Launch

SpaceX will launch Starship Test Flight 4 on June 6 and you can watch this fourth test flight online. The Starship Flight 4 live webcast is now available on the SpaceX account on X. The launch window is currently targeted for 7:30 a.m. CT with a 120-minute test window.

Flight 4 – Aim

The primary aim of the flight is to endure the maximum heat during the Starship spacecraft’s reentry. Next comes landing for the first and second stages. However, the company will also seek improvement in each mission milestone.

Pre-Launch: These milestones are performed before the launch vehicle liftoff.

1:15:00 hour prior, the SpaceX flight director will conduct a poll and verify a go for the propellant load. Before 50 minutes, the ship will begin to load liquid methane and liquid oxygen. At 40 minutes, Booster will begin loading fuel and LOX.

At 19:40 minutes Raptor begins engine chill on booster and Starship. At 3:20 minutes, the Starship propellant load will be complete followed by Booster propellant load at 2:50 minute.

30 seconds before liftoff, the SpaceX flight director will verify Go for launch. At 10 seconds the flame deflector activates, and at 03 seconds Booster will ignite its 33 Raptor engines and liftoff at 00 seconds.

Post-Launch: These milestones show progress post-liftoff.

The flight will achieve Max Q at 1:02 minutes, Super Heavy will conduct main engine cut-off at 2:41 minutes. The company will call hot-staging at 2:49 minutes. Super Heavy boostback burn will start at 2:49 minutes. Super heavy boost back will shut down at 3:52 minutes and hot-stage jettison at 3:54 minutes.

Super heavy will go transonic at 6:39 minutes, and the booster will shut down the landing burn at 7:04 minutes.  At 8:23 minutes SpaceX will cut off Starship’s engine. The ship will then roam into orbit for about 30 minutes.

Starship’s reentry is to come at 47:25 minutes in the mission time. The ship will become transonic at 01:03 hours in the mission and subsonic in the next minute. The landing flip will come at 01:05 hour and the landing burn in the subsequent seconds. At 1:05 hour, SpaceX aims to conclude the mission with a sea landing.
