Fully reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle.
See DetailsThe Superheavy booster No. 14 was successfully caught by the launch pad tower.
Result: Successful Return to Launch Site landing at Orbital Launch Mount A.Ship 33 (S33) was the 2nd stage vehicle used for the seventh Starship flight test. It was also the first "Block 2" Starship spacecraft with lengthened propellant tanks and new designed forward flaps, among other enhancements. It was lost before SECO during ascent.
Starship DetailsSpace Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
