SpaceX starship launch 6 with booster splash landing

and we flew right through [Applause] that flight director is go for launch all right we're now te minus 20 seconds until liftoff of Starship flight six this will Mark our second attempt to catch the super heavy booster at the launch Tower as well as 7 6 5 4 7 3 6 2 5 1 4 3 2 1 [Applause] vehicle is bitching down range booster Raptor team pressure nominal booster and ship avionics power and Telemetry nominal just a little over a minute dyam pressure we about 6 miles away so all the sound still hitting us here hearing good call outs that power Telemetry nominal that's flying straight and true we do see all 33 Raptor engines lit up on Telemetry screens this point we've passed through that point of Maximum aerodynamic pressure that Max Q now coming up in just a little over a minute from now is going to be hot staging so we're going to see the six engines on the ship ignite while still attached to the booster just before that we'll see all but three Center engines on the booster shut down in what we call Mo it's most engines cut off instead of main engine and so while we continue to watch it go up a lot of our flight controllers looking at all the systems around the tower again we have to send a manual command just about 30 seconds away from hot staging [Music] and we heard we heard the tower is go for catch cut off the return flag is set for True ship engine start up stage separation all right hot staging confirmed six out lit on the ship booster boost back going we heard that we are go for catch Kate Jesse take the views hopefully I got a booster coming home real soon wow from our view here Dan uh great views of planet Earth behind that super heavy booster right now is performing the bo good news there telling us that the uh the pressures inside the ship are good that is the second stage or the upper portion of the vehicle follow along with the Telemetry on the bottom of your screen yeah booster is currently super heavy is currently in its boost back burn this boost back burnic power and Telemetry nominal this boost back burn lasts just a little bit over a minute so we've got a little approximately 30 seconds left Bo shut down we've had shutd down of that boost back burn up next will be hot stage jettison the view from the camera on the left or from the booster on on the left hand side of your screen and then tracking cam there on the right hand side of your screen we'll see those grid fins booster offshore divert and we can also see that the uh hot stage has been jettisoned yes visual confirmation of that there on your screen which is great now the next Starship is following a nominal trajectory the next step for booster is going into that Landing burn again it'll light up 13 of those engines and then uh pair down to three engines right before booster catch all right now just real quick we did hear the call out uh boost back or excuse me booster offshore divert unfortunately that means that we are noo for the catch um as we said before both the Tower and the vehicle as well as the operators on Console have been actively evaluating the commit criteria for that return to the launch Tower um and unfortunately we did not have a pass on those commit criter so we are noo for Tower catch and we did mention that we're constantly evaluating the criteria for catch there's a lot of things that need to go well in order to line that up Unfortunately today we will forego booster catch today but what you're seeing on your screen is ship uh currently making its way towards the Indian Ocean still looking good so far exactly so views there of the booster on the left hand side of your screen views of the ship on the right hand side of your screen now we've said before that it was not guaranteed that we would be able to make a uh a tower catch today so while we were hoping for it like we said it was pretty Epic on attempt one but uh the safety of the teams and the public and uh and and the pad itself are uh Paramount so we are accepting no compromises in any of those areas exactly and we're still going to get a lot of good flight data with booster even but especially with ship again we have an additional objective today to do an inspace relight of a Raptor engine which again will help us set us up for uh being able to do deorbit burns which is Chip chamber pressure is phenomenal which which is important for orbital flights and what you're seeing on your screen is a view from super heavy as it's making its way back down to earth yeah once again we are attempting an offshore Landing of the super heavy booster uh so we have seen this before uh and it is still very fun to watch watching it come down for a soft splash down off the Gulf Coast of Texas we can see it they're re-entering uh we saw earlier those grid fins there are four Hypersonic grid fins oh we can see that the landing burn has begun on the super heavy booster same pattern 13 engines will light gone down to three just as we expected and what an incredible view of splash down that we got today of super heavy yeah I'm sure the buoy cam views will be pretty awesome once again so we'd like to confirm a water landing once again for the super heavy booster congrats to the SpaceX team uh for making that Milestone as
