    Starship SN5 conducts successful 150-meter flight test

    by Michael Baylor August 3, 2020
    written by Michael Baylor

    The Starship SN5 prototype has successfully conducted a 150-meter test flight on Tuesday from SpaceX’s Boca Chica test site in Texas. Monday’s opening attempt was scrubbed after the Raptor SN27 engine aborted at ignition. Following an abort early in the window on Tuesday, the attempt late in the window saw SN5 take to the air and land in one piece. The hop was the first flight of a full-scale Starship tank section, clearing the way for SpaceX to attempt higher altitude flights with Starship prototypes.
