SN24 IFT-1
- After a scrubbed launch days before, on April 20th, 2023 SpaceX conducted one of the most historic launches in all of mankind. Towering 40 stories tall, the Starship and Super Heavy Booster lifted off the earth surpassing double the thrust of the legendary Saturn V rocket. To date, this is the most powerful man-made launch of all time. Tens of thousands flocked to south Texas to view this highly anticipated and historic flight test being conducted from Starbase on Boca Chica.
With a purging hold on T-40 seconds,the world rejoiced upon continuation of countdown. SpaceX's expectations were scattered and hopes of simply clearing the pad would be considered a win. At liftoff, the 33 Raptor engines of the Super Heavy Booster produced a deafening 17 million pounds of thrust! These great forces and temperatures completely destroyed the launchpad foundation leaving a massive crater. Concrete and fondag were blasted upwards of a mile away from the site. Mass slabs of foundation the size of cars were even flung into the gulf of Mexico as seen in various footage. Nonetheless, the Starship officially had a historic liftoff.
Not only did SN24 and the BN7 booster have lift off, it eventually reached MaxQ (period where the most extreme aerodynamic pressure is exerted on the ship). After Max Q, the Starship pushed through the atmosphere climbing to an altitude of 39km (24 miles). While awaiting stage separation, uncontrollable circumstances forced the team to conduct a flight termination which caused the Starship and Booster to explode roughly 29km (18 miles) over the Gulf of Mexico. Despite all, this flight test was a HUGE historic success and valuable data had been gathered to pave the wave for the future of SpaceX.
S25 IFT-2
- November 2023 marked the 2nd flight test for the Starship vehicle and Super Heavy Booster. After a prolonged and much anticipated launch, Starship lifted off with spectacular views. The main purpose was to successfully achieve stage separation with the added functionality of the hot staging ring. And the test flight did just that! The starship successfully achieved stage separation from the booster. After a few seconds with return trajectory to earth, the booster had exploded. After several more minutes near Puerto Rico the starship had come to the same fate. While both starship and booster did not accomplish their end goals for this mission, it was still considered a very incredible success!
S28 IFT-3
- On March 14th, 2024 SpaceX conducted the launch and the 3rd test Flight of the Starship Vehicle and Super Heavy Booster. Towering 40 stories tall, the Starship and Super Heavy Booster lifted off the earth surpassing double the thrust of the legendary Saturn V rocket. New goals and objectives had been established for this flight. The vehicle successfully conducted a hot staging separation for the 2nd time. This time the Booster returned back to the gulf and just meters above the surface conducted a RUD. Meanwhile, Starship continued to fly in all her glory. After a few minutes, Starship had stopped just shy of orbit as planned. Soon after, testing of fuel transfers and payload door opening/closing was achieved. Then a while after Starship conducted its scheduled re-entry. For the first time in human livestream video, the world was able to see the Heat tiles at work live via steaming from Starlink satellites as plasma built up around the surface of the ship with extraordinary temperatures. Eventually, SpaceX lost telemetry with the Starship vehicle as it burned up in the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean. Despite the destruction, this launch was a monumental success and the data obtained will help pave the way for other Starship success!
S29 IFT-4
- Starship flight test 4 was the fourth flight test of the SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. The prototype vehicles flown were the Starship Ship 29 upper-stage and Super Heavy Booster 11. SpaceX performed the flight test on June 6, 2024. The main test objectives of this flight, both of which were accomplished, were for the Super Heavy booster to simulate a landing at a "virtual tower" just above the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, and for Starship to survive at least peak heating during atmospheric re-entry. This marked the first integrated test flight where both Starship and Super Heavy successfully reentered and performed a powered vertical landing over the ocean surface. During Flight 4 re-entry of Starship the world gasped at the edge of their seats as they watched ‘Mr. Flappy’ virtually melt away YET still function just enough for the flip and burn at the sea surface. This was an inspiring moment for the starship.
S30 IFT-5
- Starship flight test 5 was the fifth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. The prototype vehicles flown were the Starship Ship 30 upper-stage and Super Heavy Booster 12. This launch is notable for being the first time an orbital-class rocket has been caught out of mid air. After launching and delivering the Starship upper stage into a suborbital trajectory heading toward a splashdown in the Indian Ocean, the Super Heavy booster turned around and fired its Raptor engines to return back to the launch site. As the booster approached the launch pad it slowed to a near hover and did a horizontal slide maneuver to line itself up with two massive "chopstick" arms on the launch tower, dubbed "Mechazilla." The arms then closed around the booster before the engines shut down. The rocket launched on the morning of 13 October, one day after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a launch permit that had been delayed since early August and after weeks of increasingly public feuding between SpaceX and the FAA. This was an awe inspiring test flight for the Starship program.
S31 IFT-6
- Starship Flight Test 6 was the sixth integrated, near orbital test flight of the Starship rocket, using the Starship 13/31 with Booster 13 and Ship 31. It was launched on 19 November 2024 at 4:00PM CT (GMT-4). It has a similair flight profile as Flight 5, with a few adaptions such as the Ship doing a in-space burn. SpaceX put a banana as payload in the Ship's payload bay. Due to a loss of communications with the tower computer, the catch of Booster 13 was aborted.[1] The FAA recorded no mishap.
On Flight 5, SpaceX installed aluminium coated tiles, to see if steel would weaken at certain points during re-entry. Since then SpaceX has removed 8 collumns of tiles from the side of S31 for catch-enabling hardware on future vehicles, thus continuing their effort to get as much data as possible on the heat shield.
According to Elon Musk, the liftoff thrust is ~7500 tons and the mass is ~5000 tons for this flight test, while Version 3 ships will weigh over 7000 tons. Taking into account the thrust of around 230 tons per engines, this means, that the booster lifted off with approximately 100% thrust levels.
The rocket lift off the ground and passed through Max Q and hotstaged successfully. Although a command for booster catch was given shortly after staging, an abort criteria on the tower was later met and the booster was diverted to landing in the ocean (according to Elon, a wrong setting in the engines caused by a communication cut, which itself was caused by the comunication antena being bent during liftoff), where it splashed down as planned. Meanwhile, the ship continued on nominal trajectory and did a successful SECO. The Ship went through coast phase, at the end of which it relit one of its three center engine to demonstrate the capability of a deorbit burn. It re-entered earth's atmosphere, passing through peak heat phase without major problems, this flight, Elon Musk found out that despite the improved heat shield, the ships that landed reciently suffered a lot damage during reentry, and there was still plasma going through the hinges of the foward flaps. After reentry, the ship conducted the belly-flip maneuvre during daylight and successfully and softly splashed down in the Indian Ocean, before breaking in two and lightning on fire.
S33 IFT-7
- Starship Flight Test 7 was the seventh Starship test flight. It was launched at January 16th 2025 and had another suborbital profile similar to the previous flights.
It became the second successful catch of a Super Heavy booster. The flight was performed by Booster 14 (B14) and Ship 33 (S33), being the first Block 2 ship used on a flight test.
Starship Flight 7 first appeared on an advisory released on December 27th.
Starship 14/33 left the pad with an on time liftoff. On ascent, a part of the upper stage appeared to wear off. The ship hotstaged as nominal, and separated. The Booster did a successful boostback burn, although one of the 13 inner engines did not relight. All thirteen engines were however reignited for the landing burn with the final part being performed by the three innermost engines. Booster 14 was successfully catched by the OLIT-1 tower without damage to it's 4 chine sections nor it's engines becoming the first Super Heavy to be recovered undamaged.
The Ship (S33) continued on its way to orbit, however a small fire was visible in the hinge area of a flap. Under a minute before SECO, the telemetry showed the loss of several engines as well as a fast decrease of CH4 levels. At approximately eight and a half minutes into flight, telemetry with the vehicle was completely lost, and according to the analysis from Scott Manley based on footage from Frank Taylor, it exploded around 3 minutes later. SpaceX confirmed the loss of Ship 33. According to SpaceX, initial data "indicates a fire developed in the aft section of the ship, leading to a rapid unscheduled disassembly". Elon Musk specified that the ship likely experienced an "oxygen/fuel leak in the cavity above the ship engine firewall that was large enough to build pressure in excess of the vent capacity".
As for the question whether debris of Ship 33 fell outside the previously indicated hazard zone, there were initially conflicting reports from the FAA and SpaceX. While the FAA pointed towards "an anomaly with debris falling outside of the identified closed aircraft hazard areas". SpaceX stated that "any surviving pieces of debris would have fallen into the designated hazard area".There weren't any reported injuries, despite the debris reaching populated areas. However, the FAA confirmed a report of minor damage to a car at the Turks and Caicos Island. As of 1 February 2025, no other damage was reported.Furthermore, the FAA had to activate a Debris Response Area and slowed, diverted or held aircraft next to the area. Some planes requested diverts due to low fuel levels.
