SpaceX targets first full Starship booster and ship reuse attempt this weekend
SpaceX plans to launch Starship on Friday from Starbase, Texas, followed by an upper stage landing attempt about 22.5 hours later on Saturday, aiming for full recovery of both vehicle stages. Separately, Rocket Lab is preparing Electron's 100th overall mission, launching from New Zealand's Mahia Peninsula on November 14 to carry another iQPS radar satellite, marked with a special gold-and-black livery.
