Starship SN10

Starship SN10 performed a flight test to 10 kilometers. The launch was the first to use a three-engine flip maneuver for engine-out redundancy. All three Raptors successfully relit. SN10 then went down to a single Raptor to reduce thrust. The vehicle successfully touched down on the landing pad, but landed hard, resulting in an explosion a few minutes later. The anomaly was likely due to the Raptor engine ingesting helium, resulting in lower than expected thrust.

Starship SN10 successfully conducted a second static fire test after a suspect Raptor engine from the first static fire test was swapped out.

Starship SN10 performed a triple-engine static fire test to verify that the vehicle was ready for flight. The test found that a Raptor engine was suspect, according to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, necessitating a Raptor swap. The static fire will likely have to be redone as a result.

Starship SN10 successfully performed a cryogenic proof test to verify the performance of the vehicle's tank section.
