The sixth flight test of SpaceX's Starship launched from Starbase on November 19, 2024, showcasing groundbreaking advancements in booster and ship capabilities. This mission marked a significant step toward achieving full and rapid reusability of the Starship system.

Highlights of the mission:

Super Heavy Booster: Successfully lifted off with all 33 Raptor engines firing. After stage separation, it performed a boostback burn but diverted to a soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico due to an automated abort of the catch attempt.

Starship: Achieved a successful ascent and reignited a Raptor engine in space, simulating a deorbit burn. After reentry, the ship completed a flip, landing burn, and soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean.


The mission provided critical data, especially on thermal protection and flight hardware, further advancing the goal of full reusability. With lessons learned, SpaceX inches closer to revolutionizing space travel.
