The test flight comes a month after its mega-viral fifth test flight, where the SpaceX team successfully saw its Super Heavy booster return to the launch site and be caught by "chopstick arms" on its first attempt.

Where Is Starship Launching From?

Starship launches from SpaceX's Boca Chica, Texas, campus on the Gulf Coast near Brownsville.

What Is New for the Sixth Test Flight of Starship?

The 30-foot-wide, 397-foot-tall rocket will launch with the same goals as the fifth fight, "to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online," according to SpaceX.

The company says that this flight's objectives "include the booster once again returning to the launch site for the catch, reigniting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and maneuvering changes for ship reentry and descent over the Indian Ocean."

SpaceX notes that this flight also has "hardware upgrades" and "updated software controls" with "several thermal protection experiments and operational changes will test the limits of Starship's capabilities and generate flight data to inform plans for ship catch and reuse."

Will There Be a Seventh Test Flight?

SpaceX says on its website that there will be more test flights "with significant upgrades including redesigned forward flaps, larger propellant tanks, and the latest generation tiles and secondary thermal protection layers as we continue to iterate towards a fully reusable heat shield."

New dates have not yet been publicly released.
