Mission
Integrated Flight Test 2
Test Flight
Suborbital
Second test flight of the two-stage Starship launch vehicle. The booster is expected to separate 170 seconds into flight and return to land approximately 32 km off the shore in the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage will follow a suborbital trajectory and perform an unpowered splashdown approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai (Hawaii).
Status
Launch was a Partial Failure
Either the launch vehicle reached orbit but did not deliver its payload in the targeted orbit, or an exceptional event made it impossible to consider the mission a success.
Pad
Orbital Launch Pad 1
USA
The first launch and landing pad of the full version of the combined SpaceX Starship and Superheavy booster. First used for launch in April 2023. The launch mount itself is named Orbital Launch Mount A.
