The first launch attempt for Starship Flight 9 with Booster 14-2 and Ship 35 from Pad A, Starbase, Earth. The window for the launch opens at 18:30 local time (23:30 UTC) on Tuesday, May 27.
This mission will not include a catch of Booster 14, as the Booster will splashdown in the Gulf. Ship 35 will be the focus of this test flight, as SpaceX aims to perform a successful SECO with the upgraded Block 2 version, follow two consecutive flights which failed to reach that milestone.
Ship 35 is the third Block 2 Ship, featuring several upgrades to mitigate the problems suffered during Flights 7 and 8.
