Flight outcome

  • ✓Liftoff22:51 UTC, 24 July 2026 — second attempt
  • ✓Stage separationBooster separated and completed its flip
  • ✓Starlink V3 deployAll 20 satellites released, then re-entered and burned up as designed
  • ▲Booster splashdown — off-nominalOnly 5 of the 13 engines needed for the landing burn lit; hit the Gulf of Mexico harder than planned
  • ✓Ship splashdownIndian Ocean, intact and floating, still transmitting — described as the softest Starship splashdown to date
  • ✓OverallLogged as a launch success in the Launch Library database
Note An automatic abort on 16 July stopped an earlier attempt: 29 of Booster 20's 33 Raptors lit, exceeding the three-engine-out tolerance. Two engines were swapped before the successful 24 July attempt.

Unticked ≠ not started Booster 21 and Ship 41 are both listed as active hardware, so work is under way. These boxes are unticked because no completion of each milestone has been publicly confirmed yet — expect them to fill in over the coming weeks. Check the source link below for the live state.

Why there are no test dates here

Read this bit

You asked for cryogenic proof and static fire dates that keep themselves up to date. I went looking for a feed to drive that and there isn't one worth trusting, so rather than invent dates, here is exactly what I found.

SpaceX doesn't publish a test schedule. Nobody gets one in advance. The community works out when a cryo proof or a static fire is coming by watching two things: road closure notices that Cameron County posts for Highway 4 and Boca Chica Beach, and FAA flight restrictions over Starbase. Both usually appear only one to three days ahead, and a closure gets scheduled, moved or cancelled constantly.

The one community API I found has stopped updating. Starbase Status publishes endpoints for expected tests, road closures and vehicles at the pad. Its testing endpoint reports a last-updated date in May 2024, and its expected-test, road-closure and current-vehicle endpoints all return empty. Its own website still renders, but the newest closure it lists is from October 2025. Wiring the page to that would have produced a section that looked live and was two years stale — worse than showing nothing.

So the flight schedule above refreshes itself, because Launch Library actually publishes it. The test milestones are a manual checklist, and the honest place to check them is the links at the foot of this page.
