  First Starlink V3 hardware deploy — suborbital, not to orbit

  Lifted off 5:51 p.m. CT. Deployed all 20 Starlink V3 satellites; RF and laser contact with every bird. Suborbital trajectory — the satellites demised ~20 minutes after deploy, as planned. Second flight of the V3 stack.

  Final Block 2 flight — planned Gulf splashdown, no tower catch

  Oct 13, 2025. Last second-generation Starship / first-generation Super Heavy flight, last from the then-current Pad 1 setup. Booster completed a unique landing-burn profile and splashed down in the Gulf as planned. The ship reached its trajectory, reentered, and soft-splashed in the Indian Ocean. SpaceX said every major objective was achieved. No catch was attempted.

  Block 2 flight with a planned Gulf splashdown — no tower catch

  Booster 16 / Ship 37. After separation the booster flew a pre-planned Gulf of Mexico splashdown and an engine-out landing burn (one center engine intentionally disabled, a middle-ring engine used as backup). It hovered over the water, then splashed down. No return-to-pad catch was attempted. The ship deployed mass simulators, reentered, and soft-splashed in the Indian Ocean.
