Launch Notes

Seventh flight of Starship and Super Heavy and the first with Block 2 vehicles. One of the Raptor engines on Booster 14 was previously launched on Starship Flight 5.

Starlink Simulators

Ship 33 was planned to deploy 10 Starlink simulators, similar in size and weight to next-generation Starlink satellites as the first exercise of a satellite deploy mission. The Starlink simulators were to be on the same suborbital trajectory as Starship, with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean. A relight of a single Raptor engine while in space was also planned.
