SpaceX aces Starship's 11th launch with success in every mission objective

"It was also the final launch of the V2 Starship rocket. The launch was overwhelmingly successful. In its 12th test flight, SpaceX was able to achieve every major mission objective, including the second successful deployment of Starlink satellite simulators and the relight of a Raptor engine while in space. The latter achievement demonstrated "a critical capability for future deorbit burns," the company said."

"Stage separation occurred just over eight minutes later, and Super Heavy started its descent back to the Gulf of America, where it successfully splashed down. The first part of the launch was complete. Starlink simulators were deployed about twenty-one minutes after launch, as the Pez dispenser sent the faux-satellites out to space without any issue: Perhaps the most anticipated part of the launch was with Starship's banking maneuver and subsequent splashdown in the Indian Ocean."

SpaceX achieved a highly successful eleventh Starship test flight, completing every planned mission objective and marking the final V2 Starship launch. The flight included the second successful deployment of Starlink satellite simulators and an in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a critical capability for future deorbit burns. All 33 engines ignited at liftoff from Starbase, Texas, with stage separation occurring just over eight minutes later and the Super Heavy booster splashing down in the Gulf of America. Starship deployed simulators about twenty-one minutes after launch, executed a banking maneuver, and completed a successful splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
