SpaceX plans to launch its Starship megarocket on its next test flight on Monday. The vehicle’s upper stage exploded over the Atlantic Ocean during the last such test.

SpaceX will launch its Starship megarocket for the eighth time on Friday, February 28. The news came via SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, who posted a short message on X saying simply: “Starship Flight 8 flies Friday.”

SpaceX has received approval from the U.S Federal Aviation Administration for Flight 8 of its Starship megarocket, which is targeted for Monday (March 3).

SpaceX has announced a brief delay in the much-anticipated Flight 8 of its massive Starship rocket. Originally set for February 28, the launch is now targeting March 3, with liftoff expected from Starbase,

The test flight will be a repeat of what SpaceX hoped to achieve on the previous Starship launch in January, when the rocket broke apart and showered debris over the Atlantic Ocean and Turks and Caicos Islands.

SpaceX has attained authorization from regulators to fly its massive Starship rocket once again, the FAA announced on Friday.
