Wednesday 's test flight will be the seventh flight of SpaceX’s fully integrated Starship system.

The rocket will carry out an experimental maneuver designed to test how satellites might deploy from this “new generation” of the spaceship.

Launch will take place no earlier than 5 p.m. ET Wednesday from the launchpad at its Starbase facility near Brownsville , Texas .

Starship system still has a long way to go before it can return humans to the moon’s surface or take the first humans to Mars .

SpaceX has yet to conduct a mission to orbit or test out how Starship will rendezvous with another vehicle for refueling in space.

The company plans to use Starship to deploy batches of its internet-beaming satellites in the future.
