Similar to the high-altitude flight tests of Starship SN8 and SN9, SN10 will be powered through ascent by three Raptor engines, each shutting down in sequence prior to the vehicle reaching apogee \u2013 approximately 10 km in altitude. SN10 will perform a propellant transition to the internal header tanks, which hold landing propellant, before reorienting itself for reentry and a controlled aerodynamic descent.<\/p>\n<p>The Starship prototype will descend under active aerodynamic control, accomplished by independent movement of two forward and two aft flaps on the vehicle. All four flaps are actuated by an onboard flight computer to control Starship\u2019s attitude during flight and enable precise landing at the intended location. SN10\u2019s Raptor engines will then reignite as the vehicle attempts a landing flip maneuver immediately before touching down on the landing pad adjacent to the launch mount.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2021\/03\/starship-sn10-high-altitude-flight-test\">Continue reading \u201cStarship | SN10 | High-Altitude Flight Test\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billy Bob Joe. \u00b7 1t5Smepondsormeddh \u00b7 Brownsville, TX \u00b7 SN10 Successful Flight and soft Landing, \ud83d\ude8015min later methane leak goes boom \ud83d\udca5\ud83d\ude05STARSHIP SN10 10KM FLIGHT Links: SpaceX Official: www.SpaceX.comSpaceX YouTu\u2026 See More.
