[TIME SUBJECT TO CHANGE] This is the fifth fully integrated full stack test flight of Starship and the mighty Super Heavy booster, the largest and most powerful rocket to ever fly. It produces over twice as much thrust as the Saturn V that took humans to the moon. The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-4 in June, 2024. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean about 65 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, on a suborbital trajectory. And perhaps more exciting, this will be the first time SpaceX will be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower! Get your tickets to the Astro Awards!!!

SpaceX is targeting Thursday for the third flight of Starship. The license from the FAA was acquired. The flight will feature several upgrades to Booster and Ship, as well as a modification of the flight path to the Indian Ocean, instead of Hawaii. In space, SpaceX plans to demonstrate the payload dispenser door, and the capability to relight a Raptor in Space. Additionally, SpaceX wants to demonstrate the capability of in-space cryogenic propellant transfer. The mission will attempt a soft splashdown of Booster 10 in the Gulf of Mexico, and a splashdown of Ship 28 in the Indian Ocean. Window Opens: March 14th at 7:00AM CDT (12:00 UTC) Window Closes: March 14th at 9:00AM CDT (14:00 UTC) Mission: Starship’s third fully integrated test flight Vehicles: Booster 10 and Ship 28 Booster Recovery: Booster will attempt a soft splashdown ~20km offshore simulating a landing back on the chopsticks. Ship Recovery: Ship will not be recovered but will attempt a controlled reentry and splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
