SpaceX Starship flight 7

SpaceX will launch Starship Flight Test 7 on January 15 at 4:00 pm CT during a 60-minute launch window and here is how to watch it live from your comfort zone to catch the exciting event.

Starship is an integrated launch vehicle consisting of a booster and a ship. The booster consists of 33 Raptor engines, which lift the integrated vehicle off the launch pad and take it to space. After hot-staging the booster returns to Earth and the second stage starts its six Raptor engines to continue the mission into orbit.

Starship Flight 7 aims to catch the booster for the second time and do a more intensive reentry heat test with next-generation Starship featuring new improvements. The launch time will enable the SpaceX team to get a sunrise landing and splashdown view in the Indian Ocean.

Data collected with this flight will help the team to make new designs and technological upgrades to prepare the ship for a vertical landing on the launch site.
