Starship SN10 | 10 km Flight

SpaceX | United States of America
SpaceX Starbase, TX, USA
March 3, 2021, 11:15 p.m.
Status: Launch Successful
Mission:

The SN10 Starship performed a test flight similar to SN8 and SN9. It launched up to an altitude of 10 km or 33,000 ft, did a belly flop maneuver followed by a controlled descent to the landing pad. Despite successfully performing the landing flip maneuver with its three Raptor engines, its vertical velocity was too high on landing, damaging its structure and resulting in an explosive destruction a few minutes after touchdown.
