Second development version of the Starship reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle.
See DetailsSuper Heavy Booster 14-2 did not made a planned splashdown near the launch site after disintegrating at landing burn start-up.
Result: Booster 14 did not land successfully.Ship 35 (S35) is the 2nd stage vehicle used for the ninth Starship flight test. It is the third "Block 2" Starship spacecraft with lengthened propellant tanks and forward flaps with a new design, among other enhancements. The spacecraft lost attitude control during its sub-orbital flight and burnt up during re-entry.
Starship V2 DetailsSpace Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center.
