Starship rocket’s Super Heavy booster was caught for a second time on Thursday during a seventh test flight of the system.

SpaceX lost contact with the booster about eight and half minutes into the flight.

A second attempt to catch the booster in November was called off due to a communication problem.

The rocket was upgraded in multiple ways compared to prior tests.
