SpaceX’s massive Starship took off from the company’s Starbase launch facility at 9:25AM ET on Thursday morning, reaching its “coast phase” in one piece.
SpaceX’s massive Starship took off from the company’s Starbase launch facility in Boca Chica, Texas, at 9:25AM ET on Thursday morning. This test launch was more successful than its two predecessors, having completed several planned maneuvers and remained in one piece until contact with the Starship spacecraft was lost shortly before its anticipated splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
SpaceX’s broadcast of the flight test ended about an hour after takeoff, with the last feeds from Starship showing what the external cameras saw during reentry. This was SpaceX’s third attempt to test the Starship rocket, with the first on April 20th of last year bursting into flames around four minutes after launch.
