SpaceX is gearing up for the seventh flight test of its Starship rocket, scheduled to launch from Starbase in South Texas. This mission will be notable for Starship's first attempt at deploying payloads, including 10 mock satellites akin to next-generation Starlink satellites. Significant enhancements to the vehicle include a 25% increase in propellant volume and a complete avionics redesign. These upgrades aim to improve reentry safety and vehicle performance, paving the way for more ambitious missions. The Super Heavy booster will also be tested, ensuring conditions are precise for safe landing, potentially resulting in sonic booms near the landing zone.
