SpaceX will attempt a 12.5-kilometer hop with their Starship SN8 prototype vehicle. SN8 will lift off under the power of its three Raptor engines and fly to an altitude of approximately 12.5 km (~41,000 ft). At that altitude, using its body flaps, SN8 will flip to a horizontal position and descend belly-first. Just prior to landing, using a combination of its engines and body flaps, SN8 will flip around again to attempt a soft propulsive landing. Need to know more information?
