While orbiting approximately 250 miles above Earth, external cameras aboard the International Space Station captured the sixth test flight of SpaceX’s Starship after liftoff at 4 p.m. CST on Tuesday, Nov. 19. For Artemis III, the first crewed return to the Moon in over 50 years, NASA is working with SpaceX to develop Starship as a lunar lander. Prior to the crewed Artemis III mission, SpaceX will perform an uncrewed landing demonstration mission on the Moon.

Despite very low expectations, it successfully lifted off, completed 2 planned engine shutdowns and reached its planned apogee of 12.5km. Then it shut down its engine and belly-flopped back to the landing pad, successfully relit 2 of its engines, and performed a bellyflop to tail-down maneuver, before losing pressure in the fuel header tank, causing it to lose its engines and crash down faster than survivable, although right on target.

[TIME SUBJECT TO CHANGE] This is the sixth fully integrated test flight of Starship with its Super Heavy booster, the largest and most powerful rocket to ever fly. It produces over twice as much thrust as the Saturn V that took humans to the moon. The goal of the test is to get additional data while flying a similar flight as IFT-5 in October, 2024. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean about 65 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, after performing a Raptor relight test and doing some heavier maneuvering during reentry. Perhaps even more exciting, SpaceX will be attempting to catch the Super Heavy booster with the launch tower again. 00:00:00 – Intro 00:02:10 – Prelaunch Preview 00:08:08 – Camera Tour / Views 00:16:45 – Q&A 02:10:00 – Prop Load 02:28:10 – SpaceX Feed 02:59:20 – Lift Off! 03:02:00 – Stage Sep 03:05:55 – Booster Splashdown 03:08:00 – Coast Phase 03:37:25 – Raptor Relight 03:44:22 – Starship Reentry 04:04:30 – Starship Landing 04:07:45 – Q&A Get your tickets to the Astro Awards!!!

Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off on October 13, 2024, with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design. And on our first try, Mechazilla caught the booster. Following a successful liftoff, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and coast, the Super Heavy booster performed its landing burn and was caught by the chopstick arms of the launch and catch tower at Starbase. Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to the catch attempt, and thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt. Prior to catch, Starship executed another successful hot-staging separation, igniting its six Raptor engines and completing ascent into outer space. It coasted along its planned trajectory to the other side of the planet before executing a controlled reentry, passing through the phases of peak heating and maximum aerodynamic pressure, before executing a flip, landing burn, and splashdown at its target area in the Indian Ocean. The flight test concluded at splashdown 1 hour, 5 minutes and 40 seconds after launch.

SpaceX is set to launch the Starship SN11 prototype to an altitude of approximately 10 kilometers. A launch attempt is possible in the morning local time on Tuesday. However, as with testing, there is always a chance that teams could decide to stand down and try again on a different day.

Starship gave us quite a show during the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship (S24) and Super Heavy rocket (B7) from Starbase in Texas. On April 20, 2023 at 8:33 a.m. CT, Starship successfully lifted off from the orbital launch pad for the first time. The vehicle cleared the pad and beach as Starship climbed to an apogee of ~39 km over the Gulf of Mexico – the highest of any Starship to-date. With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and we learned a tremendous amount about the vehicle and ground systems today that will help us improve on future flights of Starship.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX launched a test flight of its Starship rocket early Saturday from its spaceport in Texas, reaching a crucial booster separation stage before exploding. The company’s previous launch attempt in April ended in an explosion. Chapters: 00:00 Launch 00:40 Booster separation 01:12 Booster explodes #SpaceX #Starship #Musk #WSJ

Starship’s fourth flight test launched with ambitious goals, attempting to go farther than any previous test before and begin demonstrating capabilities central to return and reuse of Starship and Super Heavy. The payload for this test was the data. Starship delivered. On June 6, 2024, Starship successfully lifted off at 7:50 a.m. CT from Starbase in Texas and went on to deliver maximum excitement. The fourth flight of Starship made major strides to bring us closer to a rapidly reusable future. Its accomplishments will provide data to drive improvements as we continue rapidly developing Starship into a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry crew and cargo to Earth orbit, the Moon, Mars and beyond.

I still have questions, this is one possible answer to the Flight Termination System question.

SpaceX’s IFT4 Was expected to push the flight envelope out further, joining the dots between the orbital speeds and the flip and burn landings which had been demonstrated a few years ago. There were a few changes to this flight profile, and in particular, intentionally discarding the hot staging ring appears to have freed up enough margin to make a soft landing of the booster possible. But the real story of this flight was watching as the heat of atmospheric entry burned through at least one of the control flaps, but the spacecraft kept flying, remained in control and proceeded to a soft touchdown in the Indian ocean. The hardware was on show, but the software was performing the real miracles today.
