Starship SN11 was ready for its test flight on Friday, but after a successful static fire, the company decided to delay the 10km flight to Monday to allow for “additional checkouts”.
Musk said last week it was “doing our best to land and fully recover” Starship SN11. The previous SN10 flight test resulted in a landing, but the Starship exploded on the pad shortly after.
New road closures for a 10km test flight of Starship SN11 have been scheduled for tomorrow, Monday, March 29th. The testing window is from 12pm to 5pm Central // 1700 to 2200 UTC.
