What time is SpaceX's Starship Flight 7 launch test today?

A silver stainless-steel SpaceX Starship is assembled for launch on the pad for Flight 7.

SpaceX is one day away from the launch its first Starship flight of 2025, a mission that will test a new version of the world's largest rocket. But if you're hoping to watch the launch, now set to Jan. 16, live online, you'll need to know when and where, and for that we've got you covered.

SpaceX is scheduled to launch its Starship Flight 7 mission at 5 p.m. EST (2200 GMT) on Thursday, Jan. 16, -- three days later than an earlier Jan. 13 target -- from the company's Starbase facility near Boca Chica Beach in South Texas. The mission will mark the seventh test flight of a SpaceX Starship, but it's the first of a new design for the rocket that includes significant upgrades. If all goes well, the company will attempt to catch the Starship rocket's huge Super Heavy booster at its launch site as it did last fall.
