But there’s little doubt that, whenever it is, many will be holding their collective breath in hopes of Starship’s first fully successful landing. The 165-foot-tall SN20 Starship prototype that was involved in Thursdays firing test currently features two Raptor engines. The next test flight for SN12 has not yet been announced.

Still, some of those reporting nearby had cameras damaged or knocked offline as the pieces fell. Luckily, all of these Starship prototypes tests are carried out without humans onboard or near the launch or landing site.
The first complete Starship prototype was SN8, which crashed upon landing on 9 December 2020 and has raised many concerns about SpaceX's safety procedures on testing and damages to the surrounding environment. On 25 July 2019, Starhopper performed the first successful flight by any Starship prototype at the SpaceX South Texas launch site. Elon Musk says SpaceX is now aiming to send its next-generation Starship rocket on its first orbital flight as early. Starship was called the Mars Colonial Transporter, Big Falcon Rocket, and Interplanetary Transport System, each with different designs.

We are not developing a full game out of it, but you can enjoy one level with estimated 30 minutes of playtime and replayability in this short but sweet prototype Starship Saboteur Prototype is a topdown action game prototype which you can play lethally or in full stealth.

Seconds later, ground cameras at the landing site captured debris raining from the sky.Īccording to a tweet from SpaceX’s founder and CEO, Elon Musk, “Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start.” According to the same tweet, more information about what caused the explosion will be available after the team is able to inspect the area this afternoon. Starship Saboteur Prototype is a short free prototype made by Catland. SpaceX’s latest orbital Starship prototype, dubbed S20, experienced a bit of a mishap during a venting test on Monday: the pressure caused numerous of the hexagonal heat shield. About 5 minutes into the flight, SpaceX’s feed temporarily came back up, showing SN11 in it bellyflop position, which it uses to slow down during descent.Īs the rocket approached the landing site and the engines attempted to reignite, the onboard feed once again froze.
Today, SN11’s onboard cameras were cutting out throughout the flight, and cameras on the ground were unable to capture anything due to the heavy fog. In the past several months, the SN8, SN9, and SN10 Starship prototypes have all exploded during or shortly after their landing attempts. Like the past several Starship test flights, the goal of this flight was not only for the rocket to safely reach its target altitude, but also safely slow its descent before softly landing on Earth’s surface.
