Vehicles
Starship Prototype
Mk1
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
Starship Mk1 was partially destroyed during max pressure tank testing, when the forward LOX tank ruptured along a weld line of the craft's steel structure, propelling the bulkhead several meters upwards.
Starship Prototype
SN1
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SN1 was destroyed when undergoing pressurization.
Starship Prototype
SN10
✓ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SN10 is a Starship Prototype similar in design to SN9. It got destroyed during an explosion on the pad after landing.
Starship Prototype
SN3
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SN3's cryo test failed, the result being the LOX (Liquid Oxygen) Tank collapsing due to underpressurisation.
Starship Prototype
SN4
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
On April 26, 2020, SN4 successfully completed a cryogenic pressure test. On May 29, 2020, SN4 exploded after engine testing.
Starship Prototype
SN7
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
Intentionally destroyed during a pressurization test.
Starship Prototype
SN7.1
✕ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SpaceX Test tank for 304L Stainless Steel. Top bulkhead intentionally burst during pressure testing.
Starship Prototype
SN8
✓ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SN8 was destroyed when attempting to land after its first flight due to low header tank pressure during landing burn.
Starship Prototype
SN9
✓ Flight Proven Destroyed
Destroyed
SN9 is the first starship prototype to be fully made of 304L stainless steel. It was destroyed on landing after its first flight.
Starship Prototype
SN2
✕ Flight Proven Retired
Retired
SN2 successfully went through a pressure and cryo test, but was not used for a static fire or hop.
Starship Prototype
SN5
✓ Flight Proven Retired
Retired
Fifth prototype of the Starship prototype vehicle. On the 4th of August, SN5 completed a 150m hop, its first successful launch and landing.
Starship Prototype
SN6
✓ Flight Proven Retired
Retired
Starship SN6 first flew on Aug. 23rd in Boca Chica, Texas with a single Raptor engine. It flew to height of 150m before landing safely. This vehicle has now been transported back to the main construction site.
Starship Prototype
Starhopper
✓ Flight Proven Retired
Retired
First prototype of the Starship vehicle. Starhopper was a short test article that flew once to a height of 150m before landing safely.
