Watch live: SpaceX launches Starship Flight 11, finale of Block 2 upper stage

Watch live as a SpaceX Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage launch on the final flight of this iteration of the rocket. This is also the final planned launch for the Starship program of 2025. Liftoff of the 11th fully integrated Starship from SpaceX's Starbase facility at Boca Chica Beach, in Texas, is scheduled for 6:15 p.m. CDT / 7:15 p.m. EDT / 2315 UTC on Monday, Oct. 13. Like on Flight 10, the Super Heavy booster, tail number Booster 15, will not return for a catch by the launch tower, but will instead aim for a controlled splashdown off-shore to allow for more testing. This will be the second flight of this Super Heavy booster. Meanwhile, the upper stage, Ship 38, will attempt to perform a nominal, suborbital flight with plans for a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean more than an hour after liftoff. SpaceX will also attempt to deploy eight Starlink simulators (mimicking the size and mass of a Starlink Version 3 satellite) and perform an in-space relight of a Raptor engine. This will be the fifth and final flight of a Block 2 version of the Starship upper stage. Our live coverage, hosted by Will Robinson-Smith, will begin two hours before launch. He will be joined by Stephen Clark, space reporter for Ars Technica. Camera support from our friends ‪@LabPadre‬ Videos like this are made possible by the support of our members.
