Watch this amazing Starship Flight 7 recap video before Flight 8

SpaceX is targeting no earlier than Friday, February 28 to launch Starship Flight 8 and shared an amazing recap video of the Flight 7 showing different angles never seen before.

The Flight 7 test was conducted on January 16 from Starbase, Texas. The integrated flight lifted off with full power generated by 33 Raptor engines firing all at once.

The video highlights this part as the flames rage through the launch pad and expand through the site. A close-up shot of the engine area focuses on the burn through their nozzles.

Next up is the full body shot of the integrated flight with the booster taking the ship off in the air and the Gulf of America can be seen in the background.

Soon after reaching Max Q, the company called for an engine cutoff and called for hot-staging. The booster maneuvered back to the Earth with a boostback burn and the ship began its journey toward orbit with its six Raptor engines.

The ship then separated the hot-staging ring. Meanwhile, the control center confirmed the booster catch eligibility as it made its way to the launch site.

The grid fins maintained trajectory as the booster fired its 13 center Raptor engines to slow down the descent and transitioned to only 3 to move the rocket inside tower chopsticks for a catch.

The video shows the different views of the booster coming hot for a catch. However, the second phase lost contact what the upper stage due to some hardware issues. The company has made new improvements in the ship’s hardware and is expected to check all objectives that weren’t completed during Flight 8.
