SpaceX Starship Flight 15 Targets Historic Double Tower Catch
SpaceX gears up for Starship Flight 15 from Starbase, Texas, with a 75-minute launch window opening at 4:45 p.m. CT today, pending regulatory approval. The mission plans to deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites and attempt the first-ever tower catches of both the booster after 6.5 minutes and the ship after over 22 hours in orbit. A successful double catch would mark the first full recovery of an orbital launch system, paving the way for routine reusability and deep-space ambitions. Enthusiasts gathered nearby, one capturing the buzz: 'Today we go for a drive. Tomorrow we go to space. Don’t Panic.'
