Space jellyfish alert! Starship Flight 15 could produce a space jellyfish during its November 13, 2026 launch window from Starbase: 4:45–6:00 PM CST. Visibility will depend strongly on liftoff time and viewing location. A space jellyfish occurs when sunlight illuminates a rocket’s expanding exhaust against a darker sky. This video shows how the forecast changes at one-minute intervals across the 75-minute window. City angles show the rocket’s predicted peak elevation above the horizon while sunlit during powered flight.

Forecast does not account for real-time weather, cloud cover, or atmospheric visibility.

Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height

STARSHIP FLIGHT 15: With Starbase road closures now set for Production to Pad rollouts, and Friday’s NET launch date impending, here is a closer look at the SpaceX vehicles attempting to make history this week…

Starship is preparing for catch Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → spacex.com/launches/starship…

A NOTAM was just posted for one of the contingency landing points for Starship Flight 15, starting in the evening of Nov 13th

It’s time to put all the pieces together, the early tests to see how crazy it was to build a vehicle this size, the suborbital hops to practice subsonic maneuvering, the first real booster, expendable flight tests, trips to the Indian Ocean, and last flight with payload to orbit. We are one step away from the full mission, and that step is the double catch. We will try for the first time on flight 15. I don’t think and of us can promise it will work the first time, but getting here feels like a turning point. I still feel like there’s so much to review (and we will be doing that continuously between now and launch) but when I take a moment to stop and think about it, it is overwhelmingly exciting. This is the rocket that will build a human civilization on another planet.

All systems are looking good, and weather is favorable for liftoff. Propellant load is about to begin for Falcon 9’s launch of the USSF-432 mission from California → spacex.com/launches/ussf432
