SpaceX has started its live-streaming video of its Starship SN8 test flight, the company’s second attempt after yesterday’s launch was scrubbed.
Starship SN8 is tentatively set to launch at 4:40pm CST (2:40pm PST/5:40pm EST).
“This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size,” explains SpaceX.
As of writing, over 258,000 people are watching the video live, with the launch set to take place from the SpaceX test site in Cameron County, Texas. SN8 will fly as high as 12.5 km and then attempt to land. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk previously said there’s a one-third chance of a successful landing.
