SpaceX’s Starship completed its eleventh test flight on Oct. 13, successfully launching from South Texas and splashing down in the Indian Ocean.

This final flight of the current 397-foot-tall Super Heavy booster and Ship upper stage showed significantly less heatshield damage than Flight 10, marking a major improvement in the spacecraft’s durability.

The mission deployed eight simulated Starlink satellites and successfully performed a Raptor engine relight in space.

Flight Test 11 also tested modified engine burn profiles in preparation for the upcoming taller Starship variant, including a new landing burn designed for a future return-to-launch-site maneuver, Space.com has reported.

Drone and buoy cameras captured stunning footage of Starship’s descent, showing its flip-and-burn landing maneuver from a belly-flop position to upright orientation.
