Regulatory Approval Needed, Schedule May Change

SpaceX’s Starship may launch on its Flight 5 test flight as early as October 13, pending regulatory approval. SpaceX has posted on its website that if it does proceed as planned, the launch window will open as early as 7 a.m. CST. SpaceX says that since it is a developmental test flight, and in view of the FAA’s continued scrutiny, the schedule may change but the company will post updates on its X (formerly twitter) account.
