STARSHIP'S FRIDAY TEST: A LEAP TOWARD FULL REUSABILITY SpaceX is targeting February 28 for Starship’s eighth test flight, featuring major upgrades and new objectives. Pending approval, the launch window opens at 5:30 p.m. CT. This mission will deploy four Starlink simulators, test a Raptor engine relight in space, and conduct multiple reentry experiments to advance upper-stage recovery. The Super Heavy booster will attempt another launch, return, and catch. With a redesigned propulsion system and avionics, this flight pushes Starship closer to full reusability—laying the groundwork for an eventual return-to-launch-site landing.
