Watch Live: SpaceX's Starship Launch

Cameron County, Texas | June 6, 2024 - SpaceX's ambitious Starship rocket is poised for its third integrated test flight (IFT-3) on Thursday morning, with a tentative launch window set for 8:50 am EDT. The launch, which will take place from Starbase in Cameron County, Texas, marks another significant milestone in SpaceX's development of a fully reusable launch system.

Known as the "Super Heavy booster," the Starship rocket system consists of a massive booster stage and a crew capsule called Starship. The goal of Thursday's launch is to demonstrate Starship's ability to reach orbit and then return to Earth for a controlled landing. This will be the fourth uncrewed test flight for the Starship, following three previous attempts.

The launch will be streamed live on SpaceX's website and YouTube channel, allowing viewers to witness the spectacle of this historic event. As the company continues to push the boundaries of space exploration, this launch represents a pivotal moment in the development of Starship and the future of commercial spaceflight.
