SpaceX @SpaceXNow targeting 4:37 p.m. CT for liftoff of Starship
SpaceX @SpaceXLiftoff of Starship!
The first Starship flight test of 2025 flew with ambitious goals: seeking to repeat our previous success of launching and catching the world’s most powerful launch vehicle while putting a redesigned and upgraded Starship through a rigorous set of flight demonstrations.It served as a reminder that development testing by definition is unpredictable.On its seventh flight test, Starship successfully lifted off from Starbase in Texas at 4:37 p.m. CT on Thursday, January 16. At launch, all 33 Raptor engines powered the Super Heavy booster and Starship on a nominal ascent. Following a successful hot-stage separation, the booster successfully transitioned to its boostback burn, with 12 of the planned 13 Raptor engines relighting, to begin its return to the launch site.Super Heavy then relit all 13 planned middle ring and center Raptor engines and performed its landing burn, including the engine that did not relight for boostback burn. The landing burn slowed Super Heavy down and maneuvered itself to the launch and catch tower arms, resulting in the second successful catch of a Super Heavy booster.Following stage separation, the Starship upper stage successfully lit all six Raptor engines and performed its ascent burn to space. Prior to the burn’s completion, telemetry was lost with the vehicle after approximately eight and a half minutes of flight. Initial data indicates a fire developed in the aft section of the ship, leading to a rapid unscheduled disassembly.

UPDATED JANUARY 16, 2025...FALCON 9The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a Starlink batch from pad 39A on January 21 at 12:13-4:13 a.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch a Starlink batch from pad 40 on January 24 at 5:45-9:45 p.m. EST. A Falcon 9 will launch the Spainsat NG-1 communication satellite on January 28 around 11 p.m. EST. Upcoming launches include more Starlink batches. A Falcon 9 will launch the Worldview Legion 5 & 6 satellites for Maxar on early February. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch. A Falcon 9 will launch the IM-2 lunar lander for NASA & Intuitive Machines from pad 39A on February 26. The first stage will land back at the Cape about eight minutes after launch.
SpaceX is targeting Saturday, January 18 for a Falcon 9 launch of 27 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Liftoff is targeted for 9:03 a.m. PT, with backup opportunities available until 10:58 a.m. PT. If needed, additional launch opportunities are also available Sunday, January 19 starting at 7:36 a.m. PT.A live webcast of this mission will begin about five minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.This is the 10th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched Oneweb 4, USSF-62, and seven Starlink missions. Following stage separation, the first stage will land on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship, which will be stationed in the Pacific Ocean.There is the possibility that residents of and visitors to Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, but what residents experience will depend on weather and other conditions.
