Briefing

What Hype is tracking

A successful dual catch would extend Starship’s recovery approach from the booster to the Ship, a key step in demonstrating reuse of both stages. The attempt is planned for Nov. 13, subject to regulatory approval.
The outcome will provide a major operational test of Starship’s launch-site recovery plan; the Ship has not previously been caught at the tower.
