For the final time with a V2 variant Starship test article, this afternoon SpaceX launched an eleventh time, and like usual, it was eventful. This flight included the reuse of a Super Heavy booster that was previously used back on Flight 8 in March.
As for the launch, the test included a unique engine startup sequence for the booster landing burn in preparation for the next generation of boosters. We also saw the upper stage complete a more aggressive reentry profile with missing tiles to gather data and prepare for future ship catch attempts. Here I will go more in-depth into the launch, mission milestones, upper stage splashdown, and more.
