SpaceX aims to launch 4th test flight on June 6: Musk

New Delhi: SpaceX is aiming to launch Starship's fourth test flight, which comes with many improvements, on June 6, said CEO Elon Musk on Sunday.

While the regulatory approval is pending, SpaceX aims to launch the 400-foot-tall Starship rocket along with the Heavy booster from SpaceX's Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas at 7 a.m. CT on June 6.

"Starship Flight 4, with many improvements, is aiming to launch on Thursday!" Musk said in a post on the social media platform X.com.

"The main goal of this mission is to get much deeper into the atmosphere during reentry, ideally through max heating," he added.
