Launch trajectory and telemetry simulations provided by Flight Club - a rocket launch simulator and orbital trajectory visualiser for all things space!
First development version of the Starship reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle.
See DetailsThe Superheavy booster No. 12 has successfully returned to the launch site at Starbase.
Result: Successful Return to Launch Site landing at Orbital Launch Mount A.Ship 30 (S30) is the 2nd stage vehicle used for the fifth Starship integrated flight test. Lost to the ocean after a successful soft splashdown.
Starship V1 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. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
