SpaceX Starship 4 Lifting Off

SpaceX has shared a video clip for the Starship Test Flight 4 engine ignition and liftoff phase recorded from the launch tower at Starbase Texas.

Starship consists of two stages including a Super Heavy booster and a Starship spacecraft upper stage. The liftoff is powered by the Super Heavy booster with 33 Raptor engines generating 7,590 tf (16.7 Mlbf) of thrust.

Launched on June 6, Starship Flight 4 completed all of the mission milestones including full duration burn of those 33 Raptor engines. The company landed both stages on splash zones for the first time. SpaceX next aimed to land these two stages on a real platform rather than sea.
