Mission Details 🚀

• SpaceX website (current). Highlights:

• “flight will fly the same suborbital trajectory as previous missions and will target objectives not reached on the previous test”

• “Starship will deploy four Starlink simulators, similar in size to next-generation Starlink satellites”

• Another in-space raptor relight is planned

• “A significant number of tiles have been removed from Starship to stress-test vulnerable areas across the vehicle.”

• “Multiple metallic tile options, including one with active cooling, will test alternative materials for protecting Starship during reentry.”

• “non-structural versions of Starship’s catch fittings are installed to test the fittings’ thermal performance”

• “flight also includes the launch, return, and catch of the Super Heavy booster”
