Starship Flight 11

Monday, October 13, 2025

▲BoosterSplashdown●ShipSplashdown

The final Block 2 flight, a clean mission with controlled splashdowns of both the booster and the ship.

The last flight of the Block 2 (V2) Starship before the program moved to the larger Block 3. Both stages flew a controlled profile: the Super Heavy booster made a controlled splashdown in the Gulf, and Starship completed its planned flight and a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean, closing out the Block 2 campaign on a clean note.
