SpaceX is preparing for the fifth flight of its Starship megarocket.

Recent tests on the Super Heavy booster confirm all systems are functioning correctly.

Upgrades have been made to the spacecraft's thermal shield, replacing thousands of heat shield tiles after previous flight damage.

A new catching machine called 'Mechazilla' will be tested to automate and speed up the rocket landing process.

SpaceX aims to have two active launch platforms in Texas and two in Florida to increase flight frequency.

The Starship has been moved to a static fire stand for testing, showing progress towards the mission.
