Starship Flight 15

Reportedly set to take place on November 12, 2026, Starship Flight 15 could be the first time SpaceX tries to catch both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage using the "chopstick" arms on its launch tower in Starbase. SpaceX may also try to send the vehicle into orbit again, like it did the last time around with Flight 14. If all goes to plan, the mission will be a massive milestone towards achieving full and rapid reusability for the massive 407-foot launch vehicle.
