With President-elect Donald Trump and newly-minted efficiency czar Elon Musk looking on, SpaceX launched the world's most powerful rocket on its sixth test flight Tuesday, an up-and-down trip to space by a gargantuan Super Heavy-Starship to evaluate a variety of safety and performance upgrades.
The mission is likely to be the fourth and final Starship flight before the end of 2024. Liftoff from Pad 1 at Starbase at Boca Chica Beach, Texas, is set for 4 p.m. CST (5 p.m. EST, 2200 UTC).
The satellite is designed to enhance broadband communications in India, both on the ground and during air travel. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 1:31 p.m. EST (1831 UTC).
The launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base included 13 Starlink satellites that include Direct to Cell capabilities. Liftoff from pad 4E happened at 9:53 p.m. PST (12:53 a.m. EST, 0553 UTC).
The launch has been shrouded in secrecy and is being referred as the “TD7 mission” by SpaceX. Liftoff from Launch Complex 39A happened Sunday, Nov. 17, at 5:28 p.m. EST (2228 UTC).
A batch of rockets will support sending up to about 60 of AST SpaceMobile’s Block 2 BlueBird satellites to orbit. The company’s goal is to establish a space-based cellular broadband network.
The mission launched about eight hours after another Starlink launch from California. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened at 8:21 a.m. EST (1321 UTC).
The Starlink 9-11 mission featured 13 satellites that include Direct to Cell capabilities. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 4 East (SLC-4E) from Vandenberg Space Force Base happened at 9:23 p.m. PST (12:23 a.m. EST, 0523 UTC ).
The Koreasat-6A mission took off from Launch Complex 39 A at at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at 12:22 p.m. EST (1722 UTC).
The mission carried into orbit 24 V2 Mini Starlink satellites, which appears to be the maximum that can be flown on a single Falcon 9 launch. Liftoff from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station happened on Monday, Nov. 11 at 4:28 p.m. EST (2128 UTC).
