July 24 (UPI) -- SpaceX pushed the 13th test flight of its Starship booster and spaceship to Friday evening because of weather concerns.
The flight, the second for the third version of Starship and Super Heavy V3 booster, is set for a similar set of test objectives as the 12th flight, which includes launch, ascent, stage separation, boost back burn and landing burn in the Gulf of Mexico, SpaceX said.
The test had aimed for a flight window that would have opened Thursday evening, but now the ship is being prepared for a 90-minute flight window on Friday that will open at 6:45 p.m. EDT.
This 13th flight test has been scrubbed several times already because the company was concerned about weather interfering with mission objectives.
