The Starship rocket was manufactured by SpaceX with the first launch on April 20, 2023. The Starship is a fully reusable two-stage super heavy-lift launch vehicle. It stands almost 120m (400ft) high and is designed to have almost double the thrust of any rocket in history. Mission: Integrated Flight Test. This is the third flight attempt of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The vehicle's maiden flight in April 2023 ended in spectacular style when it lost control and exploded four minutes after leaving the ground in Texas. Engineers have since made 'more than a thousand' changes to Starship's systems to try to make the vehicle more reliable. In the second launch in November 2023, the first-stage separation was successful. However, neither stage splashed down correctly. The Super Heavy booster lost multiple Raptor engines due to what was likely a blockage in the fuel lines during the boostback burn, while Starship caught fire during a planned propellant dump. The Starship will lift off from Boca Chica in Texas. The flight plan for this third Starship test is different from its previous two attempts. The 'Super Heavy' rocket booster will once again attempt a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. But the first stage, Starship, will ascend and then target a splashdown in the Indian Ocean instead of the Pacific Ocean. The total flight time is estimated to be one hour and four minutes. Neither stage will be recovered during this test, though both are designed to be reusable. SpaceX will attempt some other firsts in this mission. It will attempt to open and close Starship's payload bay door and perform a propellant transfer demonstration (transferring fuel from one tank to another, an initial test for future refueling tech).
