The planned flight is from the Starbase facility in Texas. 19-20 November the history TSİ 01:00’de will start. The launch will be broadcast live from the SpaceX account on the X platform, and the broadcast will begin 30 minutes before the launch.
What happened in the fifth test?
Starship’s fifth flight test was a major milestone towards the goal of reusability. Super Heavy booster in Starbase launch and capture tower returning successfully.chopstick” was caught by his arms. The upper stage successfully made a controlled landing in the target region, the Indian Ocean.
This test flight provided invaluable data to improve both the hardware and software performance of the system. The sixth flight aims to take the technology one step further by setting more complex targets in the light of this data.

In the statement made by SpaceX, “The success of the first capture attempt demonstrated the feasibility of the design and provided valuable data to continue improving hardware and software performance.” It was said.
If all goes according to plan, the Super Heavy booster will return to the launch and capture tower at Starbase approximately seven minutes after liftoff. If this is not feasible, Super Heavy will make a controlled descent into the Gulf of Mexico.
Meanwhile, after separation from the booster, the Starship stage will fly in the same suborbital orbit as Flight 5. However, this time the spacecraft will test its off-orbit combustion capabilities by attempting to burn one of its six Raptor engines in space. Starship will also conduct a series of heat shield experiments and maneuver modifications for reentry, including flying at a higher angle during the final phase of descent, before crashing into the Indian Ocean approximately 65 minutes after launch.
