– | Integrated Flight Test 1 (IFT-1) | S24 / B7 | – | 20/04/2023 | – | (Gulf of Mexico) | SpaceX Starship – Ship 24 and Booster 7 – first suborbital test flight from Starbase at Boca Chica, Texas (USA) which had to be terminated past max q at around 39 km in altitude, however before staging; Booster 7 was to perform water landing in Gulf of Mexico, Ship 24 was to splash down in Pacific Ocean near Hawaii |
– | Integrated Flight Test 2 (IFT-2) | S25 / B9 | – | 18/11/2023 | – | (Gulf of Mexico / Atlantic Ocean) |
SpaceX Starship – Ship 25 and Booster 9 – second suborbital test flight from Starbase, attempting to replicate the planned flight profile of IFT-1; IFT-2 successfully took off on all 33 B9 engines, and made it through hot-staging at 2 minutes and 45 seconds into the flight at 70 km of altitude; following stage separation B9 disintegrated some 35 seconds later at 90 km of altitude; S25 continued nominally for five and a half minutes on all six engines to an altitude of 148 km and 24,124 km/h of speed before (presumably) being terminated |
