Starship SN5, equipped with a single Raptor engine (SN27), performed a hop at SpaceX’s development and launch site at Boca Chica, Texas. The test article rose to a maximum altitude of about 150 meters and translated a similar distance downrange to the landing pad. The flight lasted approximately one minute and followed a trajectory very similar to Starhopper’s 150 meter hop in August of 2019. The Raptor engine is offset slightly from the vehicle’s vertical axis, so some unusual motion was to be expected as SN5 lifted off, reoriented the engine beneath the vehicle’s center of mass, and landed. SN5 has six legs stowed inside the skirt which were deployed in flight for landing.
