POSSIBLE RETURN TO EARTH OF STARSHIP IFT-15, Nov 14, 2026, Starbase, TX, 4:17 pm ET

SpaceX’s Starship Integrated Flight Test-15 (IFT-15) lifted off from Starbase, TX on November 13, 2026 at 5:47 pm ET.

If the flight proceeds as planned, it will return to Starbase on November 14 at approximately 4:17 pm ET where SpaceX hopes to “catch” it at the launch tower.

SpaceX is taking the mission one step at a time and could decide to bring IFT-15 back to Earth sooner.

The plan is for it to be caught at the launch tower on Starbase, but an abort into the Gulf is an option.
