SpaceX plans to try and hop their StarShip prototype vehicle known as StarHopper today with serial number 6 Raptor Engine. The vehicle will hopefully fly to about 20 meters (60 feet) up and may translate over a little to the side as well.
This is a very important milestone for the StarShip / StarHopper prototype, but it's also very high risk. Hopefully everything goes well so the program can continue at this rapid pace.
Need to know more about the Raptor engine and why it's awesome?
Want to know more about what the StarHopper is or how it differs from StarShip? Here's my video about what it is and what its purpose is
