Starship has flown five times to date — in April and November of 2023 and March, June and October of this year. During the most recent flight, which occurred on Oct. 13, SpaceX successfully landed Super Heavy back on the launch pad, catching the giant booster with the "chopstick" arms of Starbase's launch tower.

Starship is scheduled to launch for the sixth time on Monday evening (Nov. 18). Both pieces of SpaceX's Starship megarocket have made it to the launch pad ahead of their expected test flight on Monday (Nov. 18).

SpaceX's next venture for the Starship may take place next week, November 18, when it secured a launch window for the rocket's sixth test flight out of Boca Chica, Texas, which will focus on the same trajectory as its successful Flight 5.
