Starship • Flight 11

A SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship) will launch from Starbase, Texas, on a suborbital flight. This will be the 11th flight of the integrated launch vehicle. Similarly to Flight 10, SpaceX will not attempt to perform a catch of the Super Heavy booster (B15), which will be flying for a second time and reusing 24 of its 33 Raptor engines. Following hot staging, B15 will perform a controlled splashdown in the Gulf using “a unique landing burn engine configuration planned to be used on the next generation Super Heavy.” The Ship upper stage (S38) will target an aquatic ending in the Indian Ocean following “a dynamic banking maneuver” designed to “mimic the path a ship will take on future flights returning to Starbase.” The Ship will also perform multiple demonstrations, like deploying eight Starlink simulators and relighting a single Raptor engine during the coast phase of the mission.
