SpaceX plans a fifth Starship test launch on October 13, aiming full reusability and orbiting Earth.

SpaceX plans to launch its Starship spacecraft for a fifth test on October 13 at 7 a.m. CT from Texas. The test aims to achieve full reusability by attempting to land the Super Heavy booster back at the launch site, which may create sonic booms. The upper-stage Starship will orbit Earth before splashing down in the Indian Ocean. Success could advance SpaceX's goals for NASA missions and expanding its Starlink satellite network.
