The seventh test flight of the SpaceX Starship is scheduled for January 14, launching 10 simulated satellites

2025-01-09

SpaceX announced today that IT aims to launch the seventh Starship test flight mission (IFT-7) at 06:00 Beijing time next Tuesday (January 14).

So far, the Starship has completed six test flights - two in 2023, one each in March, June, October, and November of last year, and the successful October mission achieved the feat of "clipping" the super-heavy booster with a tower, which SpaceX will continue to try with IFT-7.

In addition, the mission will be the first test of the upper stage of the block 2 Starship. According to SpaceX's website, its starship electronics have been "completely redesigned," with more than 30 cameras throughout the arrow, 25 percent more propellant, 3.1 meters more height, and a redesigned front flap position.

SpaceX wrote in the mission description that the test flight will be the first attempt to deploy a payload in space - 10 simulated satellites "similar in size and weight to the next generation Starlink satellites, as a first rehearsal for a satellite deployment mission."

"The Starlink analog satellite will be in the same suborbit as the starship and will aim to splash down in the Indian Ocean," SpaceX added.

IT House notes that the super-heavy booster used in the mission will also be the first attempt to reuse previous hardware, primarily "a Raptor engine launched and recovered from Starship's fifth test flight."
