SpaceX will be conducting an estimated 12.5 km test flight of their Starship vehicle prototype SN9. This flight will be similar to the largely successful SN8 test flight in December 2020, but hopefully with little softer landing at the end.

SN9 will launch from Boca Chica, Texas with power of its three Raptor engines. The 3 Raptor engines will shut off in a one by one sequence during ascent to decrease loads and acceleration on the vehicle. When SN9 reached its apogee, a single Raptor engine will initiate a flip from vertical to horizontal postion before shutting off. SN9 will make use of its body flaps to keep it stable during descent. Just moments before landing, SN9 will ignite two Raptor engines to flip back into a vertical orientation and perform a soft landing similar to what we see with the SpaceX Falcon 9.
