The launch window opens Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 4 p.m.

As previously reported, Starship will deploy 10 simulated Starlink satellites as the first exercise of a satellite deploy mission while in space.

“The upcoming flight test will launch a new generation ship with significant upgrades, attempt Starship’s first payload deployment test, fly multiple reentry experiments geared towards ship catch and reuse, and launch and return the Super Heavy booster,” the news release stated.

The Super Heavy booster is expected to return to the launch site, resulting in audible sonic booms in the area around the landing zone, according to the news release.
