SpaceX plans a Nov. 13 catch of Starship and its booster

SpaceX's Flight 15 page says the flight is preparing to launch as soon as Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, pending regulatory approval, with a 75-minute window opening at 4:45 p.m. CT. It is planned as the first flight to return both Starship and Super Heavy to Starbase for a tower catch, and to deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites. A Nov. 7 update says the ship catch is at Pad 2 after a single-Raptor-3 deorbit burn, and only if FAA-approved conditions are met. The page header lists 17:45-19:00 ET, which does not match a 4:45 p.m. CT opening.
