SpaceX’s Starship may launch on its Flight 5 test flight as early as October 13, pending regulatory approval. If it does proceed as planned, the launch window will open as early as 0700 CST.
In view of the FAA’s continued scrutiny/interference, the schedule may change. By all accounts, Starship’s Flight 4 was a significant success. Both Starship and Super Heavy flew nominal trajectories and hit their landing targets in the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, respectively. October 7, 2024 marked the fifth successful test flight for Boom Supersonic’s XB-1 demonstration aircraft. It flew to an altitude of 17,800 feet MSL in the R-2515 airspace and represents the halfway point in the 10 subsonic flights planned before breaking Mach 1. NBAA has activated its Humanitarian Emergency Response Operator (HERO) database to aid in mobilizing the business and general aviation communities for relief operations in the Southeastern U.S. following the crippling impact of Hurricane Helene--and will, no doubt, be aiding victims of Milton, as well.
