SpaceX Starhopper Static Fire (Raptor SN6) - July 16, 2019

Published on Jul 17, 2019

Late at night on July 16, SpaceX's Starhopper underwent a Static Fire test with SN6 Raptor.

The actual firing was an expected duration firing of Raptor, but teams are evaluating off nominal issues that later included a fireball from the aft area (Hopper or GSE) during safing. Hopper is still standing, but the area will need to be safed to check on what requires repair.

Starship | SN8 | High-altitude flight test

Dec 9, 2020

As early as Wednesday, December 9, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude suborbital flight test of Starship serial number 8 (SN8) from our site in Cameron County, Texas. The schedule is dynamic and likely to change, as is the case with all development testing. This live feed will start a few minutes prior to liftoff.

This suborbital flight is designed to test a number of objectives, from how the vehicle’s three Raptor engines perform, and the overall aerodynamic entry capabilities of the vehicle, including its body flaps, to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, which would be a first for a vehicle of this size.

With a test such as this, success is not measured by completion of specific objectives but rather how much we can learn as a whole, which will inform and improve the probability of success in the future as SpaceX rapidly advances development of Starship.

Inside Elon Musk's SpaceX Starship

Jan 20, 2021

Elon Musk has big plans for the future. SpaceX’s Starship will transport humans to Mars in the future. The powerful rocket is still being tested, but the future of space travel will be here in the blink of an eye. So, what will Starship look like on the inside? Test ships are barebones, but we know what the crewed version of Starship will look like. Inside of Starship, you will find a cargo hold, mess hall, executive suites, standard seating, a control deck, and a recreation area. The control deck is where the pilots and scientists will work, but this level is different from other spaceships. It will be able to transform into a viewing gallery that will offer guests an amazing view of the stars. Starship will also feature an amazing multi-purpose recreation area where guests can watch concerts and other events. First-class cabins will be available to anyone who can afford them; they will likely cost more than $1 million. The mess hall is where you can get your grub on. SpaceX colonies on Mars will feature insect farms and cellular agriculture, so meals on Starship will consist of bugs and algae to prepare you for your new life on Mars. You have to be ready for new types of food as Mars’ soil is not suitable for agriculture. Regular seats on Starship will cost about $200,000, and each launch will cost about $2 million. Here’s a detailed look at what the crewed version of SpaceX’s Starship looks like on the inside. Keep watching to see more. Are you excited about your trip to Mars?

Starship | SN9 | High-altitude flight test

Streamed live Feb 2, 2021

As early as Tuesday, February 2, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude flight test of Starship serial number 9 (SN9) – the second high-altitude suborbital flight test of a Starship prototype from our site in Cameron County, Texas. Similar to the high-altitude flight test of Starship serial number 8 (SN8), SN9 will be powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee – approximately 10 km in altitude. SN9 will perform a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent.

The Starship prototype will descend under active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two aft flaps on the vehicle. All four flaps are actuated by an onboard flight computer to control Starship’s attitude during flight and enable precise landing at the intended location. SN9’s Raptor engines will then reignite as the vehicle attempts a landing flip maneuver immediately before touching down on the landing pad adjacent to the launch mount.

A controlled aerodynamic descent with body flaps and vertical landing capability, combined with in-space refilling, are critical to landing Starship at destinations across the solar system where prepared surfaces or runways do not exist, and returning to Earth. This capability will enable a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo on long-duration, interplanetary flights and help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond.
