BOCA CHICA, Texas — SpaceX will attempt a second launch of its Starship rocket after the first launch attempt was scrubbed due to a frozen valve in the pressurization system.
The launch will take place at the company's Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas -- about 20 miles east of Brownsville -- with a 62-minute window opening at 9:28 a.m. ET. A live webcast will begin 45 minutes before liftoff.
"Starhsip is a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo to Earth orbit, help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond," SpaceX said in a press release."With a test such as this, success is measured by how much we can learn, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.
Meanwhile, the spacecraft will travel about 150 miles -- partially around the Earth -- and then splash down in the Pacific Ocean near Hawaii about 90 minutes after liftoff.
