SpaceX Starship: Launch, satellite deploy & propulsive landing

The Starship spacecraft had a successful launch today, taking off at the beginning of its 90-minute launch window.

The 12th test flight of SpaceX’s Starship megarocket came to a dramatic close, with the spacecraft managing to complete a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean despite operating without one of its engines.

The spacecraft — a new prototype called Starship V3 — released mock satellites during a brief suborbital journey.
