NEW YORK — SpaceX is eyeing a Monday morning launch of its powerful Starship rocket -- which is expected to eventually carry passengers to the moon and Mars.
The unmanned launch of the world's largest rocket will mark the first flight test of a"fully integrated" Starship spacecraft and the so-called Super Heavy rocket, SpaceX said.
The 150-minute test window opens at 7 a.m. CT Monday, SpaceX said, while noting that the schedule is"dynamic and likely to change." A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 45 minutes before liftoff. The timing comes after the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday approved SpaceX's launch of the nearly 400-foot-tall rocket from a remote site on the southernmost tip of Texas near Boca Chica Beach.Following blastoff, the first stage of the super heavy rocket is expected to splash down about 20 miles off the coast of Boca Chica while the Starship vehicle orbits around the globe before splashing down off the coast of Hawaii.
