Prototype of SpaceX's Starship, a fully reusable second stage and space vehicle.
See DetailsStarship SN15 successfully landed back at the launch site after its high-altitude flight.
Result: Successful Return to Launch Site landing at SpaceX Starship Landing Pad.Space 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.
