SpaceX has announced that it will attempt the sixth launch of Starship on November 18, just 37 days after the previous one. The flight profile will be identical to that of October 13, with some differences for Ship 31.

With this prototype, they will try for the first time to restart one of its Raptor engines in space, an operation that has never been performed before. This will be an important test, especially to enable future orbital maneuvers. By next summer, SpaceX aims to complete the first propellant transfer between two different Starships, and engine ignition will be crucial for the subsequent return to Earth.

The company was supposed to perform the first ignition of a Raptor in space during the third flight, but since the Ship had lost control of its attitude on that occasion, the test was canceled.
