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 Flight 7

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.
