The mission profile for the Starship Propellant Transfer Demo will begin with the first launch. This launch will deliver the upper stage into orbit around the earth, while the first stage returns to the launch site for a catch. The second launch will repeat this profile three to four weeks later, and dock with the first starship. [4]

The Starship Human Landing System program includes the development and operational use of several Starship spacecraft variants by SpaceX, including the Starship HLS ship—optimized to operate on and in the vicinity of the Moon—as well as a Starship depot that will store propellant in Earth orbit, and the Starship tanker designed to fly multiple trips to orbit from Earth's surface to ...
SpaceX is set to launch its Starship craft on Thursday, 16 January, after weather delayed its critical test of the world’s biggest rocket. The 123-metre-tall rocket, which Elon Musk hopes to use ...
The perfectly executed landing followed the Starship’s 232-foot Falcon Super Heavy booster rocket gracefully returning to the launchpad seven minutes after launch, where it was “caught” by a ...
The Starship launch system includes the upper Starship spacecraft and a rocket booster known as the Super Heavy. Of the rocket’s 33 engines, 32 lit during launch, according to the SpaceX broadcast.
When stacked and fully fueled, Starship has a mass of approximately 5,000 t (11,000,000 lb), [c] a diameter of 9 m (30 ft) [17] and a height of 121.3 m (398 ft). [6] The rocket has been designed with the goal of being fully reusable to reduce launch costs; [18] it consists of the Super Heavy booster and the Starship upper stage [19] which are powered by Raptor and Raptor Vacuum engines.
Starship made a safe landing in the Indian Ocean and remained intact despite the rough landing trajectory. “Turns out the vehicle had more capability than our calculations predicted, and that is ...
