Flight 1
LostApr 20, 2023
The first launch of the full stack. Several booster engines were out from the start, and the two stages never separated. The rocket tumbled and was destroyed by its flight termination system about four minutes after liftoff, after reaching about 39 km (24 mi). The launch also dug a crater under the pad, and SpaceX added a water-cooled steel plate beneath it before the next flight.

Flight 2
PartialNov 18, 2023
The stages separated by hot staging for the first time: the ship lit its engines while still attached to the booster and pushed itself away. The booster had several engines fail and exploded during its burn back toward the Gulf. The ship kept going for more than eight minutes, up to about 149 km (93 mi), and was lost just before its engines were due to shut down.

Flight 3
CompleteMar 14, 2024
Both stages ran full-length burns and the ship reached its planned path through space. While coasting it opened and closed its payload door and moved propellant between tanks as a test. The booster was lost just before its planned splashdown in the Gulf. The ship made the first reentry from space of any Starship, and contact was lost during it, about 49 minutes into the flight.

Flight 4
CompleteJun 6, 2024
The first flight where both stages came home. The booster made a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. The ship survived reentry, with damage to a forward flap visible on the webcast, and splashed down in the Indian Ocean.

Flight 5
CompleteOct 13, 2024
The first booster catch: about seven minutes after liftoff, the booster flew back to the launch tower and the tower's arms caught it on the first try. The ship came down about 65 minutes after liftoff, hovering on three engines over the Indian Ocean before tipping over into the sea.

Flight 6
CompleteNov 19, 2024
Automated health checks on the tower called off the second catch, and the booster splashed down in the Gulf instead. The ship relit one of its Raptor engines in space for the first time, the kind of burn future ships need to bring themselves back down from orbit, and splashed down in the Indian Ocean.

Flight 7
Ship lostJan 16, 2025
The first Version 2 ship. The booster was caught again, but the ship was lost about eight minutes in, still on its way up, and its debris lit up the sky over the Caribbean. SpaceX said a fire on the ship was the likely cause; Elon Musk pointed to a fuel leak above the engines.

Flight 8
Ship lostMar 6, 2025
The third booster catch. Toward the end of its climb, several of the second Version 2 ship's engines shut down and it began to tumble. SpaceX lost contact about nine minutes into the flight.

Flight 9
PartialMay 27, 2025
The first reflown booster. It came down at a steeper angle as an experiment and broke apart just after starting its landing burn over the Gulf. The ship reached its planned engine cutoff, a first for Version 2, but its payload door wouldn't open for the mock Starlinks, and a leak cost it control during the coast. It reentered out of control over the Indian Ocean.

Flight 10
CompleteAug 26, 2025
On the way down the booster switched off one of its center engines on purpose, to test a backup landing burn, and dropped into the Gulf. The ship released eight mock satellites the size of Starlink V3s, then flipped, lit three engines and splashed down in the Indian Ocean: the first Version 2 ship to make it to splashdown.

Flight 11
CompleteOct 13, 2025
The last flight of the Version 2 ship and the first-generation booster. The booster splashed down in the Gulf as planned. The ship released eight mock Starlinks, relit a Raptor and, before its splashdown in the Indian Ocean, flew a banking turn meant to copy the path future ships will take back to Starbase.

Flight 13
CompleteJul 24, 2026
The first Starship flight to release working satellites: 20 Starlink V3s on a path that didn't reach orbit, which reports say made contact with the Starlink network before reentering. The booster was lost when only ten of its 13 landing engines relit. An earlier attempt on July 16 stopped itself at liftoff when several engines weren't ready.

Flight 14
CompleteSep 28, 2026
The first Starship to reach orbit, about 262 km (163 mi) up, and to release satellites into it: 26 Starlink V3s. One engine on each stage shut down early on the way up, so SpaceX cut the planned flight of nearly ten hours short. The ship came down in the Pacific north of Hawaii about three hours after liftoff, and the booster splashed down in the Gulf.
