Starship Flight 6

Launch Notes

Sixth flight of Starship and Super Heavy. Starship successfully made an in-space burn using a Raptor engine, to demonstrate the capabilities required to conduct a ship de-orbit burn on future orbital missions. Booster did not attempt a return back to the launch site at Starbase and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico instead, due to hardware problems on the launch and catch tower triggering an abort.
