Starship Flight 15 misses double catch goal

The company plans to demonstrate a double catch: first returning to catch the Super Heavy V3 booster, then attempting to catch the Ship a day later.

Field
space
What they did
SpaceX launched its 15th Starship test flight to demonstrate catching the upper stage (the Ship) after it returned to orbit, which is the first time this has been attempted for that component.
Why it matters
This will enable the company to test a double catch scenario where both the upper stage and the Super Heavy booster return to the launch site for reflights.
