SpaceX is targeting an 8 a.m. EDT ( 1200 GMT ) launch for its Starship Flight 4 test flight of the Starship and Super Heavy megarocket from the company's Starbase facility in South Texas .
SpaceX has launched three test flights, so far, with the first two failing to reach space.
The Starship launch system is designed to be fully reusable and fly to deep-space destinations like the moon, Mars or beyond.
SpaceX's Starship Flight 4 is expected to last just over one hour , if all goes according to plan.
The Super Heavy booster, meanwhile, will fly for nearly 7 minutes , with a landing burn scheduled for 6 minutes, 43 seconds after liftoff.
If a technical issue delays the launch, the company may have to wait to try again.
