During the final stages of reentry, SpaceX will fly Ship 31 at a higher angle of attack to test the limits of flap control and future landing profiles. Assuming Ship 31 makes it through reentry, there is the potential of gaining Ship landing views like the old suborbital hop days.

You can watch a live webcast of the flight test on the SpaceX website or their X page, @SpaceX, from 30 minutes before the launch window opens at 4 p.m. local time.

SpaceX is gearing up to perform a sixth test flight of the massive Starship rocket to “get closer to bringing reuse of the entire system online.”
