Starship integrated flight tests

SpaceX’s own flight pages and updates are the source for every row. Integrated tests began with Flight 1 on 20 April 2023. SpaceX has also written that, as of 30 October 2025, there had been 11 Starship-only flight tests and 11 integrated flight tests of Starship and Super Heavy; Flights 12–14 in 2026 continued the integrated campaign. Outcomes are summarised, not graded as “success” or “failure” by us. Source: SpaceX — To the Moon and Beyond (30 Oct 2025)

Flight 1

First integrated flight test

Orbital launch pad, Starbase, Texas

Liftoff succeeded; the stack reached an apogee of about 39 km, lost altitude and began to tumble. The flight termination system was commanded on both the booster and the ship.

  • First liftoff of a fully integrated Starship and Super Heavy from Starbase.

Source: SpaceX — Starship Flight Test

Flight 2

Second flight test

Starbase, Texas

All 33 booster engines completed a full-duration ascent burn for the first time and the first hot-stage separation of a vehicle of this size succeeded. The booster experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during the boostback burn at about 90 km. The ship reached about 150 km and about 24,000 km/h (the first Starship to reach outer space) before telemetry was lost; a safe command destruct was triggered.

  • First full-duration 33-engine Super Heavy ascent burn.
  • First successful hot-stage separation at this scale.
  • First Starship to reach outer space.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Second Flight Test

Flight 3

Third flight test

Starbase, Texas

Hot-staging and a full-duration ship ascent burn succeeded (SpaceX: first Starship to complete its full-duration ascent burn). The booster lit engines for its first landing burn, then experienced a RUD at about 462 m altitude, just under seven minutes into the flight. The ship opened and closed its payload door and began a propellant-transfer demonstration; the planned in-space Raptor relight was not attempted because of vehicle roll rates. First entry from space; last telemetry at about 49 minutes.

  • First Super Heavy landing-burn attempt.
  • Payload-door and in-space propellant-transfer demonstrations.
  • First Starship reentry from space.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Third Flight Test

Flight 4

Fourth flight test

Starbase, Texas

The booster completed a landing burn and a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico at 7 minutes 24 seconds. The ship made a controlled reentry through peak heating and max dynamic pressure, then performed its first flip and landing burn since the suborbital campaign and a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean at 1 hour 6 minutes.

  • First soft splashdown of Super Heavy.
  • First controlled Starship reentry, flip, landing burn and soft splashdown.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Fourth Flight Test

Flight 5

Fifth flight test

Starbase, Texas

On the first attempt, the launch-and-catch tower (Mechazilla) caught the Super Heavy booster. The ship completed a controlled reentry, flip, landing burn and splashdown in its Indian Ocean target area. The flight ended 1 hour, 5 minutes and 40 seconds after launch.

  • First catch of a Super Heavy booster by the tower arms.
  • Ship splashdown in the Indian Ocean target area.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Fifth Flight Test

Flight 6

Sixth flight test

Starbase, Texas

A catch attempt was aborted after automated health checks of critical tower hardware. The booster diverted, performed a landing burn and a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. The ship completed the first in-space relight of a single Raptor on an integrated flight, then a flip, landing burn and soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.

  • First in-space Raptor relight on an integrated flight test.
  • Booster catch aborted by pre-planned tower health checks; soft splashdown completed.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Sixth Flight Test

Flight 7

Seventh flight test

Starbase, Texas

The Super Heavy booster was caught by the tower — SpaceX’s second successful catch. The ship was lost: SpaceX identified the most probable root cause as a harmonic response several times stronger in flight than in testing, which led to propellant leaks and sustained fires in the aft “attic”. Last telemetry just over 8 minutes 20 seconds into flight.

  • Second successful Super Heavy catch.
  • Ship lost during ascent; FAA-overseen investigation.

Source: SpaceX Updates — New Year. New Ship. New Lessons. (24 Feb 2025)

Flight 8

Eighth flight test

Starbase, Texas

The booster was caught by the tower — SpaceX’s third successful catch. The ship was lost after a flash near a centre Raptor sea-level engine about 5 minutes 30 seconds into the ascent burn; SpaceX identified a hardware failure in that engine that led to inadvertent propellant mixing and ignition. SpaceX stated the Flight 7 mitigations had worked as designed before this distinct failure.

  • Third successful Super Heavy catch.
  • Ship lost; distinct cause from Flight 7, per SpaceX.

Source: SpaceX Updates — Fly. Learn. Repeat. (22 May 2025)

Flight 9

Ninth flight test

Starbase, Texas

First Super Heavy booster to be reflown. Ascent and hot-staging succeeded, including the first deterministic flip and boostback. A higher-angle-of-attack descent experiment (peak about 17°) preceded a landing-burn failure; SpaceX’s most probable cause was higher-than-predicted loads on the fuel transfer tube. Final booster telemetry at about 382 seconds, about 1 km altitude over the designated clear zone. The ship reached planned SECO but skipped payload deploy and an in-space burn after a main-fuel-tank pressurisation-diffuser failure (recreated in later ground testing); it reentered off-nominal and contact was lost at about 46 minutes, about 59 km over the designated Indian Ocean entry area.

  • First reflight of a Super Heavy booster.
  • Booster lost at landing burn; ship lost during reentry.

Source: SpaceX Updates — Flight 9 (18 Aug 2025 / 15 Sep 2025 updates)

Flight 10

Tenth flight test

Pad 1, Starbase, Texas

SpaceX stated that every major objective was met. The booster completed a landing burn (intentionally disabling one of three centre engines and using a middle-ring backup), hovered and splashed down. The ship deployed eight Starlink simulators (first successful Starship payload demonstration), completed the second in-space Raptor relight, then a landing flip, landing burn and soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.

  • First successful Starship payload-deploy demonstration (eight Starlink simulators).
  • Second in-space Raptor relight.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Tenth Flight Test

Flight 11

Eleventh flight test

Pad 1, Starbase, Texas

Final flight of the second-generation Starship and first-generation Super Heavy, and the final launch from the then-current Pad 1 configuration. SpaceX stated that every major objective was achieved. The booster completed a unique landing-burn profile planned for the next generation, hovered and splashed down. The ship deployed eight Starlink simulators, completed a third in-space Raptor relight, flew a dynamic banking manoeuvre to mimic a future return to Starbase, then a landing flip, landing burn and soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.

  • Final Block 2 / first-generation Super Heavy integrated flight.
  • Third in-space Raptor relight; banking manoeuvre for a future return-to-launch-site profile.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Eleventh Flight Test

Flight 12

Twelfth flight test

Pad 2, Starbase, Texas

First flight of Starship and Super Heavy V3, the first flight of Raptor 3 engines, and the first Starship flight from Pad 2. A single booster engine and a single ship vacuum engine shut down; the ship still reached its planned trajectory. The booster could not light all planned boostback engines, ended the burn early and had a hard splashdown in the Gulf after a landing-burn attempt. During coast the ship deployed all 20 Starlink simulators and two modified Starlink satellites that imaged Starship in space, then flew a flap-stress and banking experiment and executed a landing flip, landing burn and splashdown on two Raptor engines in the Indian Ocean.

  • Debut of Starship / Super Heavy V3, Raptor 3 and Pad 2.
  • First Starship flight to deploy modified Starlink satellites to image the ship in space.

Source: SpaceX — Starship’s Twelfth Flight Test

Flight 13

Thirteenth flight test

Pad 2, Starbase, Texas

Second flight of the V3 vehicles and the first Starship flight to deploy next-generation Starlink V3 satellites. The booster completed the high-thrust portion of boostback with all 33 engines (a V3 first) but ended the burn early; a subset of landing-burn engines ignited before a hard splashdown in the Gulf. The ship deployed all 20 Starlink V3 satellites, communicated with every satellite by radio and laser, and downloaded telemetry; SpaceX said the satellites were on the pre-planned trajectory and were expected to have demised on reentry about 20 minutes after deployment. A single Raptor was relit in space. After a banking manoeuvre, the ship executed a landing flip, landing burn and soft splashdown, coming to rest intact in the Indian Ocean — SpaceX’s first views of an intact heatshield after splashdown.

  • First deployment of Starlink V3 satellites (20), on a suborbital trajectory expected to demise.
  • Intact soft splashdown with the first views of an intact heatshield.

Flight 14

Flight 14 — first orbital Starship mission

Pad 2, Starbase, Texas

First attempt, and first success, at placing Starship in orbit, and the first delivery of a meaningful payload to orbit (26 Starlink V3 satellites). One booster engine shut down during ascent; 31 of 33 engines lit for a boostback designed to burn through remaining main-tank liquid oxygen. The booster landing burn down-selected to three engines before a Gulf splashdown; the flight-termination system was then triggered as a demonstration of the safety hardware. One ship vacuum engine shut down early; the remaining five burned longer to reach the planned passively safe suborbital trajectory. After a “go” for orbit, a single sea-level Raptor performed the first Starship orbit-insertion burn. All 26 satellites were deployed and contact was made over laser links, ground stations and Starlink user terminals. Out of caution after the ascent engine issue, the team limited time on orbit, performed Starship’s first deorbit burn, reentered, and completed a three-engine landing burn, flip and on-target splashdown in the northern Pacific.

  • First Starship orbit.
  • First operational payload to orbit: 26 Starlink V3 satellites.
  • First Starship deorbit burn and targeted Pacific splashdown from orbit.

Planned

Flight 15 — planned first return-to-launch-site catch of both stages

Pad 2, Starbase, Texas

This flight had not launched as of the 10 Nov 2026 snapshot. SpaceX says Flight 15 is preparing to launch as soon as 13 Nov 2026, pending regulatory approval, and is planned to be the first flight to return both Starship and Super Heavy to the launch site for catch. Planned objectives include deploying 26 Starlink V3 satellites and an approximately 22-hour, ~14-orbit mission at about 275 km, with conservative “go/no-go” gates and pre-cleared ocean abort zones. This is a plan, not a completed result.

  • Planned first catch of a Super Heavy V3 booster.
  • Planned first catch of a returning Starship upper stage.
  • Planned deployment of 26 Starlink V3 satellites.

NASA Artemis collaboration and lunar landing technology

NASA and SpaceX are not the same organisation. The statements below come from NASA news releases and mission pages, or from SpaceX updates about work performed under NASA’s Human Landing System (HLS) contracts. Programme architecture has changed in 2026; older award language is kept only as history.

Artemis flights — official NASA status

Starship Human Landing System — contracts and technology

  • History (still true as an award date): NASA selected SpaceX’s Starship in 2021 as a human landing system for a then-planned Artemis III lunar landing, under a firm-fixed-price contract. SpaceX later received a further award covering a subsequent landing (SpaceX, 30 Oct 2025, describes a 2021 Artemis III selection and a later Artemis IV selection). Source: NASA — Selects SpaceX to land next Americans on the Moon (16 Apr 2021) Source: SpaceX — To the Moon and Beyond (30 Oct 2025)
  • Current contract posture, as of 23 Oct 2026: NASA says it has updated its HLS contracts with Blue Origin and SpaceX. Under the original contracts, Starship HLS was assigned to Artemis III and IV, and Blue Origin’s Blue Moon Mark 2 to Artemis V. Under the realignment, both providers are participating in the Artemis III low-Earth-orbit mission, and neither lander provider has been assigned to a specific Artemis lunar landing mission. Source: NASA — Partners accelerate lander development for 2028 Moon missions (23 Oct 2026)
  • Revised Starship concept of operations (NASA, 23 Oct 2026): SpaceX still plans in-space propellant aggregation with tanker and depot Starships in low Earth orbit. Under the revised operations, Starship HLS would await Orion in Earth orbit, dock there, and perform a trans-lunar injection burn to send the combined stack to low lunar orbit. NASA is working to modify Orion so Starship can push it to the Moon. An uncrewed demonstration of the aggregation approach is required before crewed landing missions. Source: NASA — Partners accelerate lander development for 2028 Moon missions (23 Oct 2026)
  • SpaceX-reported HLS work, as of 30 Oct 2025: SpaceX said its HLS team had completed 49 contract milestones, including a full-scale cabin ECLSS and thermal demonstration, qualification of an androgynous docking adapter (based on the Dragon 2 system) intended to link Starship and Orion, a full-scale landing-leg drop test onto simulated lunar regolith, a Raptor lunar-landing throttle test, micrometeoroid and debris shield tests, landing software/sensor/radar demonstrations, a depot power-module demonstration, and an elevator and airlock demonstration with Axiom using flight-representative EVA suits. SpaceX also stated a design figure of more than 600 cubic metres of pressurised habitable volume and a cargo-lander design capability of up to 100 metric tons to the lunar surface — these are SpaceX design claims, not demonstrated landings. A long-duration orbital flight and a ship-to-ship propellant-transfer flight test were “targeted to take place in 2026” in that update; as of this 10 Nov 2026 snapshot we have not found an official SpaceX or NASA statement confirming that the ship-to-ship transfer has been flown, so it is not listed as completed.

Commercial opportunities MaquishTech Venture® can help with

As Starship, Starlink and Artemis mature, organisations will need ordinary business software on the ground: data pipelines, analytics, CRM, secure portals and operations dashboards. These are opportunity areas, not claims of current contracts, clients, revenue or market size. MaquishTech Venture® works on ground-side and business systems only — not flight software, payloads, on-board systems or launch operations.

AI for space-adjacent teams

Practical assistants and automations for proposals, support and reporting, and pipelines that bring together licensed Earth-observation data, CRM and operations data. Human review stays in the loop. We do not claim to run mission control or onboard autonomy.

Robotics on the ground

Software around terrestrial test, warehouse and inspection workflows — tracking, dashboards and secure document flows for teams that already operate their own hardware. We do not build flight or surface robots.

Satellite analytics

Browser-based maps, alerts and reports on open or licensed Earth-observation data that you are entitled to use (for example Copernicus or Landsat, or imagery you already licence). Every source is attributed. We do not resell or redistribute primary imagery.

Interplanetary logistics (ground systems)

CRM, supplier and parts portals, shipment and milestone tracking, and leadership dashboards for organisations planning lunar or deep-space logistics. This is business software on Earth, not a transportation service to the Moon or Mars.
