Successful ocean landing of Starship! We will do one more ocean landing of the ship. If that goes well, then SpaceX will attempt to catch the ship with the tower.

Green light go for Flight 7 of Starship. 🚀

Elite tweet.

Redesigns to the propulsion system, including a 25 percent increase in propellant volume, the vacuum jacketing of feedlines, a new fuel feedline system for the vehicle’s Raptor vacuum engines, and an improved propulsion avionics module controlling vehicle valves and reading

Starship 33 has been lifted onto the ship transport stand inside of Megabay 2 for transport to the launch complex for Starship test flight 7. 1/6/25

Lord of soot - welcome home, B1067! This booster is the current Falcon 9 fleet leader in terms of reuse having just completed its 25th successful launch and recovery with the Starlink 12-12 mission. 📸 - NSF - NASASpaceflight.com 📺 - nsf.live/spacecoast

After flying to a peak altitude of ~90km, traveling more than 60 km downrange from Starbase, and completing its boostback burn and coast, Super Heavy ignited its landing burn less than 40 meters away from the preflight target. The Raptor engines and booster guidance system

Just like that, the chopsticks for the second tower at Boca are currently being lifted! Track Starbase Here: figma.com/design/2AvC161… 📸NSF, Starbase Live #Tracking #SpaceX #Starship #Starbase

It’s been a wild few months 🫨🥂

Not a ton is going on visually down at Starbase currently, but a few hours ago the BQD (Booster Quick Disconnect) and RQDs (Raptor Quick Disconnects) were purged! This is a great thing to see in preparation for B15. Track Starbase Here: figma.com/design/2AvC161… 📸NSF, Starbase
