SpaceX Prepares Starship Flight 15 for First Double Catch and Satellite Deployment
SpaceX is preparing for its Starship Flight 15 mission, aiming to launch the 407-foot rocket from Texas and attempt the first-ever simultaneous mid-air catch of both the Super Heavy booster and the upper-stage spacecraft, Ship. The flight will deploy 26 next-generation Starlink satellites and last over 22 hours with about 14 Earth orbits. Success would mark a milestone in reusable rocket technology, potentially reducing launch costs and advancing space travel for Moon and Mars missions. The launch timing remains subject to regulatory approval and weather conditions.
