SpaceX will attempt to re-create successes from previous flights on November 18, focusing on catching the Super Heavy booster and achieving an accurate Starship splashdown.
Engineers have introduced upgrades, including more redundancy in the boosters and propulsion systems, to enhance the Starship's reusability and overall capabilities.
The upcoming test will also assess new thermal protection materials and analyze the Starship's performance at higher angles of attack during descent.
Successful flight tests are leading to a higher cadence of launches, with simultaneous approvals for multiple flights, a change from previous requirements for separate approvals.
