More pictures of the 11th #Starship test flight just dropped in three X postings, also mirrored in https://www.facebook.com/internationalspacestation83/posts/pfbid0GpFUEVj8odKFTKjVNdUaajk1vUWHGUZN5zLCzwPPh97Q5uDDNYKwLVhFkGHVfJZgl

A collection of stills from newly released videos of the #Starship returning is now leading https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/10/15/auch-suborbital-test-nr-11-verlief-problemlos/ - here are two in full resolution.

Launch highlights from NSF's multitude of live and remote cameras covering Flight 11 of #Starship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4_-FE9PkJc (10 minutes).

The flight of the 11th #Starship itself also went completely to plan it seems: deploying all dummy 'satellites', relighting an engine and reentry and controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean despite deliberate damage and hard maneuvers.

The webcast of the 11th #Starship flight test has begun: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mrGmBjyEZgJy - t zero is 23:23 UTC.

Going up and coming down: the launch of the 11th #Starship and the ditching of its booster - so far everything happening to plan. The full screencaps and two more in https://bsky.app/profile/cosmos4u.bsky.social/post/3m34eo5xshk2q

NASA panel fears a #Starship lunar touchdown is more fantasy than flight plan: https://www.theregister.com/2025/09/22/nasa_starship_artemis_doubts/ - "a slip from 2027 due to Starship not being ready would be embarrassing for the company and potentially devastating for US hopes to return to the Moon before China's first human landing attempt."

"The tenth flight test of #Starship is preparing to launch as soon as Monday, August 25," says https://www.spacex.com/launches/starship-flight-10 now: "The launch window will open at 6:30 p.m. CT" i.e. at 23:30 UTC tonight.

Views of #Starship landing burn and splashdown on Flight 10, made possible by SpaceX’s recovery team. Starship made it through reentry with intentionally missing tiles, completed maneuvers to intentionally stress its flaps, had visible damage to its aft skirt and flaps, and still executed a flip and landing burn that placed it approximately 3 meters from its targeted splashdown point: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1961165064666312956 -> https://bsky.app/profile/dutchspace.bsky.social/post/3lxigiz466s2o

The much anticipated tenth test flight of the #Starship - an assessment in https://milesobrien.substack.com/p/starship-at-the-crossroads-can-test - could come at 23:50 UTC tonight: SpaceX's webcast will be at https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1yoKMPRjeYYxQ while others are already running at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qmknQKRsIM and https://www.youtube.com/live/C7WmlTp7ue0 and https://www.youtube.com/live/QFFysWdL4wI

Looks like the 10th #Starship test flight was a full success: the launch from a drone, the touchdown (kind of) in the Indian Ocean from a buoy. See https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/08/22/webbs-zufallsfund-eines-neuen-uranus-mondes/ - scroll down - for more screencaps from the webcast.

Here we go again ... t minus 30 minutes for the 3rd attempt of the 10th #Starship test flight: webcasts at https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1lPKqvNwLREGb and independently at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpmTivdrQiQ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sLKqFgYyYo

Next attempt for the tenth flight test of #Starship, now planned for 23:59 UTC (with weather chances of only 30%): webcasts on at https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1vAxRQZzOLNJl from SpaceX and independently e.g. on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwC9sr6GEUk and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZJ0RWsL6ws and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6hvgcWH5_4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js0hBEKsXIE

Because of bad weather - specifically the anvil rule - the #Starship test number 10 has been scrubbed yet again: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1960130754714935426 (but chances are deemed high for another attempt 24 hours later, they said in the webcast).
