Starship is set to launch on Tuesday, November 19 , with a 30-minute launch window that opens at 5:00 p.m. ET .

The rocket will lift off from SpaceX's Starbase facility in Boca Chica , Texas , for another suborbital flight designed to test Starship ’s reusability.

Starship lifted off for its fifth test flight on October 13 , but for the first time, its booster gently came down towards a special tower, named Mechazilla , which caught the rocket with its extended mechanical arms like a giant pair of chopsticks.

SpaceX plans on retrieving and reusing both Starshipâs booster and its upper stage.
