SN1 To SN11 | Starship Prototype | Flight Test Compilation | Cursor
The next Starship prototype to launch will be the SN15. SpaceX had built the SN12, but parts of it have been scrapped. The SN13 and SN14 had parts made for it, but SpaceX decided to not complete the rockets. Instead, it will jump straight to the SN15, which SpaceX chief Elon Musk says has improved capabilities and will be the company's best chance at landing. As is custom with SpaceX, it has not provided an exact launch date, with fans likely to experience a weeks-long wait.
Mr Musk said on Twitter: "SN15 rolls to launch pad in a few days.
"It has hundreds of design improvements across structures, avionics/software & engine. "Hopefully, one of those improvements covers this problem. If not, then retrofit will add a few more days." While the SN15 will be fitted with small changes, eccentric billionaire Mr Musk said the next major review will come when the SN20 launches. However, even he is not confident the SN20 will be a complete success, stating the later batch of Starships will take a more challenging flight.
Mr Musk added: "Next major technology rev is at SN20. Those ships will be orbit-capable with heat shield & stage separation system. Ascent success probability is high. "However, SN20+ vehicles will probably need many flight attempts to survive Mach 25 entry heating & land intact."
