SpaceX is aiming to launch its next-generation Starship megarocket on a fourth test flight this morning. The company says it is on track for an 1350 BST liftoff
If all goes according to plan, the nearly 400-foot-tall rocket will lift off from SpaceX's Starbase test site in Boca Chica, Texas.
On this flight, Starship will attempt to reach orbit and then safely return to Earth, with a targeted splashdown in the Indian Ocean
SpaceX is also hoping to show that the rocket's first stage, known as Super Heavy, can similarly return to Earth in a safe and controlled way, with a planned "soft splashdown" in the Gulf of Mexico
