Starship Flight Test
Starship gave us quite a show during the first flight test of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy rocket from the Star base in Texas.
At 8:33 a.m. CT, Starship, successfully lifted off from the orbital launch pad for the first time. The vehicle cleared the pad and beach as the Starship climbed to an apogee of ~39 km over the Gulf of Mexico – the highest of any Starship to-date. The vehicle experienced multiple engines out during the flight test, lost altitude, and began to tumble. The flight termination system was commanded on both the booster and ship. As is standard procedure, the pad and surrounding area was cleared well in advance of the test, and we expect the road and beach near the pad to remain closed until further notice.
With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and we learned a tremendous amount about the vehicle and ground systems today that will help us improve on future flights of Starship.
