Upcoming eighth launch of SpaceX Starship
This article is about the eighth flight test of the Starship+Super Heavy vehicle. For other launches of Starship, see List of Starship launches.
Starship flight test 8 will be the eighth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. Booster 15 and Ship 34 are expected to fly on this test flight. It is expected to be the second flight of a Block 2 ship. After Flight 6, Elon Musk stated that flight 8 could be the first 'catch' of the Ship.
SpaceX is expected to perform the flight test in early 2025.
Background
Vehicle testing ahead of launch
As of November 2024, vehicle testing is yet to commence for the vehicles planned for the eighth flight.
"Successful ocean landing of Starship!". We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.
