As early as Tuesday, February 2, the SpaceX team will attempt a high-altitude flight test of Starship serial number 9 (SN9) – the second high-altitude suborbital flight test of a Starship prototype from our site in Cameron County, Texas. Similar to the high-altitude flight test of Starship serial number 8 (SN8), SN9 will be powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee – approximately 10 km in altitude. SN9 will perform a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and controlled aerodynamic descent.
The Starship prototype will descend under active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two aft flaps on the vehicle. All four flaps are actuated by an onboard flight computer to control Starship’s attitude during flight and enable precise landing at the intended location. SN9’s Raptor engines will then reignite as the vehicle attempts a landing flip maneuver immediately before touching down on the landing pad adjacent to the launch mount.
A controlled aerodynamic descent with body flaps and vertical landing capability, combined with in-space refilling, is critical to landing Starship at destinations across the solar system where prepared surfaces or runways do not exist and returning to Earth. This capability will enable a fully reusable transportation system designed to carry both crew and cargo on long-duration, interplanetary flights and help humanity return to the Moon, and travel to Mars and beyond.
Given the dynamic schedule of development testing, stay tuned to SpaceX’s social media channels for updates as they move toward SpaceX’s second high-altitude flight test of Starship!

For some reason whenever I load Starship, It's super dark. Do you know why I might be having this problem?
Need more engines
Quality content
Soon: how not to bellyflop an orbital rocket
Please make this a game on the app store
They can lower the thrust of landing by firing all 3 engine according to my experience by making it and flying it.
6:54 disappears? Hahahaha
Wack
The graphics look so great, you just need RTX for more reflection on the startship
Nice
Well that was a gud recreation of the flight with better understanding of the actions… If you weren't able to see the things going in the actual flight test👍✌
really nice 👍 1 thing tho it went to vertical at the end otherwise nice job
Meh. It looked fine but the impact didnt look like the real one
CGだよね？
He says "We have work on that landing a little bit." and I'm like no you got to work on that landing a lot. BTW you play KSP like a pro I wish I was as good at it as you are.
ahhhhhh! the sound is cursed!
Revert to vehicle assembly
Wow cool
Its crazy how you are actually going to create the flip menuver for it and it crashed many times so that means you are doing a very hard job well done
Man I just can’t believe how there was no Scraps from the explosion
Русский есть?
