Starship Flight 13 S40 Splashdown BOATSHIP, B20 Engine Failed on Landing! Here's What Happened...

I have a feeling the crowd's about to go wild here. Starship descending into the Indian Ocean, down to one, and we're in the water. Clock, wow, look at that view of... Three, two, one. Gitbull is pitching downrange. Booster Raptor chamber pressure's nominal. 30 seconds into flight, 33 out of 33 Raptor engines lit on the super heavy booster arcing away from us here at Starbase. Coming up on Max Q, maximum aerodynamic pressure, which again, for this flight, is going to be higher than it has been on any of our previous Starship flights. So we're patching through that maximum aerodynamic pressure over a minute now into flight. Still seeing 33 out of 33 Raptor engines lit and burning. Our next major moment's going to be coming up in just a little over a minute from now when we're going to get to hot staging. We're going to shut down all but five of those engines on the booster. It's our version of MECO. Most engines cut off. And then we're going to ignite the six engines on the ship while it is still attached to do that separation. As a reminder, we try to do a directional flip. So when you watch on your screen, we're hopefully going to be sending that booster towards the bottom of the frame. For the booster itself, it's like doing a flip up that'll go towards the bottom of your frame. We do that by lighting the engines in a slightly staggered sequence. Standing by for hot staging. All but five engines down and boost back burn shut down. So it looks like just heard the call out for a landing burn startup for the booster. I have a feeling the crowd's about to go wild here. And another awesome landing for Super Heavy. Congratulations to all the teams here at Starbase and at our SpaceX team. An amazing, amazing view. And engine shut down. All right, Starship six Raptor engines have successfully shut down. Nominal orbit insertion. This is the first time we've got Starlink V3 satellites getting ready to go into space. And I mean, these things are really just kind of crazy upgrades that they're going to bring to the network where you start talking about just symmetric gigabit speeds through the Starlink network pretty much anywhere on the planet that this is going to unlock. So really exciting. These are these satellites are only going to be in space for about 20 minutes. There you go. You can see our first Starlink V3 getting deployed out of Starship. Huge milestone for the team out here. Yeah, the crowd is definitely hyped about this. You can see these Starlink V3s continuing to pop out with deployment assisted by the PEZ dispenser. Now, this version of Starship is built to deploy up to 60 of these more advanced Starlink version three satellites. Each V3 is designed to offer one terabit per second of dowlink capacity. Now, let's put that into Falcon 9 terms real quick. A Starship launch with V3 satellites will launch 20 times the capacity into the constellation as a single launch of V2 satellites on Falcon 9. Just incredible. And anybody that follows Starship, you know that the views that we're being treated to right now, the views we get during those reentries, that's made possible by Starlink. It's given us just this unprecedented look into Starship as it's flying through space, hurtling through the atmosphere. It's powering the dozens of cameras we have on board. It's giving us real time data on every system that's telemetered on board that vehicle in real time. We use the exact same constellation to power all of our cameras that we have out in the field here in the Indian Ocean. So really powerful technology for just connecting you no matter where the heck you are on the planet, off the planet. So thank you, Starlink, for letting me watch this stuff as we fly through space. It's pretty awesome. 19 out the door, one more. It looks like we got a crowd at our Hawthorne, California location. Some colleagues gathering outside of mission control there as well. That marks, if I'm not mistaken, our 20th. So our payload deploy sequence is now complete. Starship will now close its payload bay door and continue to coast around Earth to the Indian Ocean. Relight demo start. You see Relight there on your screen. Wow. And confirmation over the net. Relight shutdown. The burn has ended. Congrats to the team on this milestone. I mean, it's it's crazy to see how we can maneuver in space and just another icing on the cake for today's mission. Now, we did just hear that call out. We should continue to hear some call outs as the ship makes its way back to Earth. Now, when we hear something called entry max heating, as well as entry max Q, that means that the ship has made it through the maximum heating and aerodynamic loads that it experiences as it returns. So safe to say that if it makes it through those specific points, we're doing pretty well. Welcome back one last time to Starship Flight 13, the second flight of Starship version three. As you can see on your screen with crisp views from Starlink, the ship is currently reentering the Earth's atmosphere over the Indian Ocean. And really, for the last several minutes, we had some amazing technicolor views. It really looked like it was made out of starlight. Starship descending into the Indian Ocean, down to one. And we're in the water. And it's a soft splash down in the water. Yeah, I will say the teams are super hyped here. That's a crowd here at Starbase Texas. Everyone's super excited. We never really get to see Starship floating so serenely in the Indian Ocean. So we're certainly enjoying these extended views. Like I said, we're really pumped about this. Wow. Look at that view of the Starship heat shield tiles. You can really see how the atmospheric reentry, how it disperses the heat around the edge of the vehicle. I don't think we've seen quite that close before. Never. And honestly, however short lived that ship standing, bobbing in the water is that is insane data for our team. It's it's unbelievable that we were able to keep that ship afloat. Now we promise maximum excitement and Starship V3 delivered. Congratulations to all of our teammates at SpaceX and to everyone who supported the Starship program. And thank you to all of our future customers for your support and that we are still getting views from Starship. It is sending these via Starlink from the other side of the world while it is floating in the water after flying through space like this is just completely surreal right now. Yeah. Let's just close on that. Look at Starship in the Indian Ocean. That's fantastic. We'll see you all back here for the next flight test of Starship version three. With that, we'll say goodbye.
