the ships Flight of 9 launches, as it is called, scheduled to launch no earlier than Tuesday, May 27, 7:30 pm EDT (2330 GMT) From Spacex’s Starbase State Site near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas. As it says in the name of this, it is the ninth flight of the giant test Excoke Rocket, but it was the first to try again in the giant super heavy booster, the first stage of the stars.
It comes after two failed launches this year, Flight 7 and Flight 8in January and March, indeed. In flights, spacex Super heavy booster successfully returned To the land of back-to-back rocket tide of chopstick giants, but the ship’s stage fails after the uprising.
What time does spacex launch
Spacex is now targeted by a 7:30 PM EDT (2330 GMT) Launch time for flight 9 on May 27, but that time can move depending depending on the condition of the vehicle. It can be 6:30 PM Local Time in Texas. Spacex does not list a specified window for flight, but follows 30-minute windows in the past, which can put the launch at any time 7:30 pm and 8 PM EDT (2330-000000 GMT), if the company will do again.
The date of launch, itself, not earlier than the date, but local officials for the area around Spacex’s Starbase on the road until May 29, it is possible that days on May 2 and May 29 can be possible.

Spacex is more cautious in this launch to try to reuse the worst heavy booster. Flight 9 booster is used to launch the ship at Flight 7 in January, with only four of the 33 raptor patterns of this replaced for this mission.
The whole star car, when assembled, stands about 400 feet (122 meters), made it The largest and most powerful rocket in the world. This is designed to fully use to use traveling in the ground orbit, the moon (the star is taken Artemis Astronauts by 2027), and finally fly to Mars.
Can I look at Spacex’s Starex 9 launches?
Yes, you can see the descent of the spacex in flight 9 launch. The company will provide free live webcast to launch the May 27 Start at 7 AM EST (2300 GMT)about 30 minutes before the uprising. You can look alive alive Flight Flight Page 9 SPACEX Missionas well as @Spacex x account and x tv app.

If you plan to travel to South Texas to see the Stars Flight 9 in person, there are many places where you can follow the launch.
South Padre Island offers a clear view of launch From Cameron County Amphithear on Isla Blanca Park. The adjacent coast of Port Isabel is another option, but plan ahead while traffic can be heavy.
How long does the star of the SPACEX 9 star?
The flight of Spacex’s Starship 9 Mission is expected to last an hour and hopes to repliclict the road to its immediate preference, Starship Flight 8 in MarchBefore the mission of failure was over. Spacex hopes to try a joke StarLink Satellite deploy to fly 7 (among other trials) before attempting a “soft landing” in the Indian Ocean and drowning.
The star stage stage will also target multiple objectives in space, including deployment of eight starlink simulators, the same size as a series of satellites, “Spacex wrote a mission view. “Starlink simulators will be on the same suborbital slab in the suborbital to go and expected fatal entry. A watch in a raptor machine while also planned.”
Super heavy booster, in the meantime, doesn’t try to get back to its site’s launch and be Captured in the Giant Mechazilla in Spacex Chopsticks. Instead, it will try a soft landing in the Gulf of Mexican and throw. That’s because it’s the first time the spacex is trying to follow such a big rocket.

“The booster of this flight also tests a lot of flying experiments to accumulate the real-world of flights and the super heavy booster is to try on the Gulf’s launches in the Gulf in America and not to return to launch. “(President Trump signed an executive order changing the Gulf or Mexico body of the Gulf of America.)
If all is well, the flight 9 super bushy booster should replace mexico for seven minutes after sea launch and 6 minutes of flight.
What if the star will not launch on May 28?
If the spacex is unable to launch Starship Flight 9 Test Mission On May 27thThe company can try again On May 28th and May 29.
A public advisory From Cameron County, containing a starbase, it is said that road closures are possible from May 27 to May 29 for star launch activities.
“I have ordered the closure of Boca Chica Beach and Hwy 4 for the purpose of Protecting Public Health and Safety during Spacex Flight Testing Activities on May 27, 2025, in the time period between 5, 2025, or May 29, 2025, from 10:30 am CST to 9:30 PM CST, of the same day, “Cameron County Judge Eddie Tratiño, Jr. WRITES in advisory. “It should not complete the planned flight-test activity on May 27, 2025, after the spacex is available in its alternative activities.”
As mentioned above, spacex often warns that this schedule is dynamically and can be changed. Company plans to share the most recent launch targets through this @Spacex account of x.
