SpaceX Schedules Starship Flight 15 Double-Stage Recovery Test
SpaceX is scheduled to launch Starship Flight 15 from Starbase in Texas on November 13, with a launch window opening at p. m. EST and a plan to recover both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage.
The flight will also carry 26 new Starlink V3 satellites, which could be visible to observers in the United States during twilight, officials said. The test aims to achieve the first fully reusable Starship flight, attempting an intact return of the upper stage—a maneuver never demonstrated before and considered technically risky. SpaceX first announced the November 13 date as a double-catch test for both stages.
