Flight 15
SpaceX plans to catch both the booster and, for the first time, the ship with the tower.
Planned No earlier than November 2026 Estimated
Goal
- Catch the booster with the tower again, the first catch since Flight 8.
- Fly the ship back to Starbase and catch it with the tower, which no one has done before.
The plan
- Launch from Pad 2 and fly the ship to orbit.
- The booster flies back and is caught by the tower.
- After its mission the ship reenters, steers back to Starbase and is caught. Elon Musk put the odds of success at 50 to 60 percent.
- The plan isn’t final until SpaceX confirms it.
