SpaceX said on Nov. 10 that Super Heavy Booster 22 has been moved to the launch mount at Starbase and used for final catch testing, including a “suspended squeeze test at catch height,” Space.com and Tesla North reported. Starship Flight 15 is targeted as early as Nov. 13, pending regulatory approval, in a 75-minute window opening at 4:45 p.m. Central. SpaceX plans to catch the booster about 6 minutes and 35 seconds after liftoff, then attempt a Ship catch about 22 hours later after deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites. Tesla North said B22 would be the first Super Heavy V3 booster intended for a tower catch. Related: the earlier Flight 15 preview.
