Starship Launch Stats

NumberDateObjectivesStatusOutcome
FT-104/20/2023The first flight of the combined stackFull failure just before Starship separation, the rocket tumbled until the FTS destroyed itFailure
FT-211/18/2023Introduction of the hot staging processBooster lost 6 engines during boost back burn causing it to end sooner than planned, this resulted in Booster hitting the ocean a lot faster than planned. Starship successfully completed a full duration burn and several test objectives, the vehicle broke up during reentry due to lack of control.Failure
FT-303/11/2024Test fuel transfer, test payload bay doorBooster successfully splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico. Starship survived reentry and successfully splashed down in the Indian Ocean, it was approximately 5km off target due to severe damage to at least one flap.Success
FT-406/06/2024First catch attempt of the booster, test of reengineered heat shield.Success
FT-510/13/2024Booster diverted for splashdown. Starship completed a successful relight in space and splashed down in the Indian OceanBooster was successfully caught by the tower. Starship landed on target and damage during reentry wasn’t as bad as previous flight.Success
FT-611/19/2024Booster was successfully caught by the tower. Starship landed on target and damage during reentry wasn’t as bad as the previous flight.Success
FT-701/16/2025First flight of Starship V2, numerous heat shield tiles were changed to test, first flight with payload (10 Starlink V3 simulators), first reflight of Raptor Engine (314)Booster successfully caught by the tower, 1 engine didn’t restart on boost back but did light on catch.

Starship lost before the end of the first burn, telemetry showed engines starting to switch off before the scheduled time and ended with a complete loss of telemetry.

Video later showed a vehicle breaking up in the rough location where the ship would have been.

Ship
Failure
FT-803/06/2025Booster successfully caught, two engines failed to relight on boost back and one failed on catch.

Starship lost before the end of the first burn, based on video it appears that one of the vacuum engines exploded which damaged other engines and caused the ship to start spinning.
Booster Success

and

Ship
Failure
FT-95/27/2025First reflight of Superheavy Booster, 29 of the 33 engines are previously flown include engine 314 that has flown twice already.Booster was lost during the landing burn attempt.

Starship payload door didn’t open correctly so Starlink simulators were not deployed.

Ship was lost during re-entry due to fuel leak after SECO that caused the ship to spin out of control
Partial Failure

(First booster reflight, was good until landing.

Ship made it to SECO before losing attitude control)
FT-108/26/2025First payload deployment by Starship

All test objects met including payload deploy, engine relight in space, reentry using more agressive profiles, MaxQ flap test and heatshield testing.
Booster successfully splashed down in Gulf

Starship successfully splashed down in Indian Ocean
Success
FT-1110/13/2025Final launch of V2 Ship/Booster, final launch from Pad 1 in current configurationBooster successfully splashed down in Gulf, tested out new V3 landing burn sequence.

Starship successfully splashed down in Indian Ocean, successfully tested proposed return to catch flight profile.
