SpaceX Sets June 5 Launch Date for Starship Rocket

Third Test Flight Successful

SpaceX is targeting June 5 for the next flight of its massive Starship rocket, the company said Friday. The test flight will be the fourth for Starship, which has flown three times previously: in April 2023, November 2023, and March 14, 2024. The debut flight did not last long, but the second and third flights were successful.

FAA Approves Launch License

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved the commercial launch license for the fourth test flight of SpaceX's Starship rocket. The FAA's approval is a significant milestone for SpaceX, as it allows the company to proceed with the launch.
