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.
Starship conducted another flight test to demonstrate orbital launch capability.
