Partial success November 19, 2024
Goal
- Relight a Raptor engine in space.
- Catch the booster again.
What happened
The ship relit a Raptor engine in space, a step needed before Starship can go into orbit.
The booster catch was called off because a sensor on the tower was damaged, so it came down in the Gulf.
The ship splashed down in daylight in the Indian Ocean.
Future dates come from the launch calendar and are checked every week; they often slip. All Starship missions
