SpaceX Starship integrated flight test 6 (IFT-6) will be the sixth integrated flight test of a prototype Starship launch vehicle. According to NASASpaceflight, the prototype vehicles expected to be flown are the Ship 31 upper-stage and Booster 13.[1][2]
SpaceX is expecting to perform the flight test in 2024.[3][4] As of July 2024, the flight profile for flight 6 remains unknown.
Background[edit]
Vehicle testing ahead of launch[edit]
S31 was rolled to Masseys for cryogenic testing on May 11.[5] During its first cryogenic test on May 12, an electrical anomaly occurred,[6] and was rolled back to the production site for repairs on May 15.[7] S31 completed a successful cryogenic test in early July.[8]
