SpaceX is testing its launch pad arms to attempt capturing the Super Heavy booster after Flight 5, marking a significant step in reusable rocket technology.
The risky capture attempt, which is set to occur during the next Starship test, could greatly enhance SpaceX's capabilities in booster reuse and recovery.
As SpaceX awaits FAA approval, the ongoing refinement of the tower arm capture procedures continues to be a top priority for the company.
During preliminary tests, SpaceX's tower arms, also known as chopsticks, were used to conduct multiple strikes on the booster to simulate capture attempts.
