List of Starship launches

Since April 2023, the SpaceX Starship has been launched 9 times, with 4 successes and 5 failures. The American company has developed Starship with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale.^[1] It aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline and adapting it to a wide range of space missions.^[2][3] Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's reusable launch system development program and plan to colonize Mars, and also one of two landing systems selected by NASA for the Artemis program's crewed Lunar missions.

SpaceX calls the entire launch vehicle "Starship", which consists of the Super Heavy first stage (booster) and the ambiguously-named Starship second stage (ship).^[4] There are three versions of Starship: Block 1, (also known as Starship 1, Version 1, or V1) which is retired, Block 2, which first flew in Starship flight test 7, and Block 3, which is still in development. As of January 2025, 6 Block 1 vehicles and 3 Block 2 vehicles have flown;^[5] with the last Block 1 ship completing its mission in November 2024 (Starship flight test 6).^[6] Both Starship's first and second stages are planned to be reusable, and are planned to be caught by the tower arms used to assemble the rocket at the pad.^[7] This capability was first demonstrated during Starship's fifth flight test, using a Block 1 booster.^[8]
