SpaceX prepares for test launch of 403-foot Starship rocket, set to deploy 10 satellites from Texas.

SpaceX is preparing for the seventh test flight of its Starship rocket, set for launch on January 15th from its Starbase facility in Texas. The rocket, designed to potentially aid human colonization on Mars, will deploy 10 Starlink simulator satellites during the test. Standing at 403 feet tall, Starship aims to be fully reusable, with SpaceX requesting permission for 25 tests this year. The launch, which will be live-streamed, includes an attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster upon return.
