Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, will test for the first time completely its brand new multipurpose space transport system. The test flight, the first in which it will test the complete system, will consist of flying around the Earth at an altitude of about 100 kilometers.
The rocket's ascent will last nearly three minutes. The Super Heavy rocket will then separate from the Starship module, which will propel its own engines for another six and a half minutes. After liftoff the rocket stage will return in a controlled manner and land vertically to be used again.
