Starship Flight Test 5 is the 5th flight of Starship. Launched on 13 October 2024, Ship 30 (S30) and Booster 12 (B12) have been used for this mission.
Following the successful soft water landing of B11 on Flight 4, Elon Musk confirmed that they are planning a catch attempt on this flight.[1] This was also further confirmed in the flight 4 recap video from 4 July 2024.[2] In April 2024 and later in August 2024, significant upgrades were done to the chopsticks and the orbital launch mount to allow for a catch attempt.
Starship 12/30 lifted off from launch pad one (OLIT-1) at SpaceX's Boca Chica Starbase launch site at 07:25 am CT. All 33 booster engines ignited. After hot staging, the ship continued towards space and the booster started its boost-back burn to get back to the launch site. SpaceX checked both the booster and the tower infrastructure and manually commanded Go for the catch attempt. The tower chopsticks successfully caught Booster 12 at 07:31, completing SpaceX's first main goal for this launch. At 07:48, the Ship engines were shut down and S30 entered a roughly 25 minutes coast phase. After reentry, Ship 30 landed precisely on target in the Indian Ocean, which was SpaceX's second main goal.[3] S30 blew up after tipping over in the ocean. If it hadn't exploded, SpaceX would have planned to get some images from the heat shield tiles to assess their condition after reentry.
According to Elon Musk, the booster looked great after the catch, with a few outer engine nozzles "warped form heating & some other minor issues"[4], likely referring to a damaged chine amongst others. However, as mentioned in a gaming video from Elon Musk, the booster seemed to experience some issues shortly before the landing burn and it was just one second before a command would have been issued to abort the landing attempt and let the booster crash into the pad next to it. Also, the chine that ripped off covered some critical single point failure valves that needed to work; so they were fortunate they didn't get damaged.[5]
Accompanying the test, SpaceX released a small Starship Web game.[6]

Post Launch Updates[]
18 January 2025[]
Jay Keegan: "In response to a FOIA request from NSF, Customs & Border Protection has released the footage from the aerostat stationed at South Padre Island of launch and booster catch from *Starship Flight 5*."[7]
16 November 2024[]
SpaceX released a catch video, compared to a render[8]
25 October 2024[]
While gaming, Elon Musk "leaked" a briefing with SpaceX engineers about IFT-5. According to them, they "had a misconfigured spin gas support that didn't have quite the right ramp up time for bringing up spin pressure. And we were one second away from that tripping and telling the rocket to abort and try to crash into the ground next to the tower." As mentioned in their life stream, SpaceX had a lot of abort and commit criteria. They were thinking of delaying the launch in order to "check the things some more". Compared to flight one, their pre-flight review was not as thorough this time. Flight test 6 will be the first launch in a long time that is not driven by the timeline from the FAA issuing the launch license. Thus, SpaceX will try to get a more reasonable "balance of speed and risk mitigation on the booster specifically."
Another issue raised during this briefing was the ripped off chine covering, "which is something we were worried about. These spot weld margins on chine skin before flight, we wouldn't have predicted the exact right place." This cover was right on top of some single point failure valves that must work during the landing burn. Thankfully they didn't get damaged. But they have a plan to address this.
Finally, they seemed to have issues with the plume of the landing burn: "it seems like the plume during landing burn kind of coming back over."[9]

The ship used for recovering parts of B11, HOS Ridgewind, recovered the Hot Stage Ring that was jettisoned during Flight 5.[10]
13 October 2024[]
Elon Musk: "Ship landed precisely on target! Second of the two objectives achieved."[11]
Bill Nelson: "Congratulations to @SpaceX on its successful booster catch and fifth Starship flight test today! As we prepare to go back to the Moon under #Artemis, continued testing will prepare us for the bold missions that lie ahead -- including to the South Pole region of the Moon and then on to Mars."[12]
Elon Musk: "Just inspected the Starship booster, which the arms have now placed back in its launch mount. Looks great! A few outer engine nozzles are warped from heating & some other minor issues, but these are easily addressed. Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff. The booster returns within ~5 minutes, so the remaining time is reloading propellant and placing a ship on top of the booster."[4]
SpaceX: "Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design. And on our first try, Mechazilla caught the booster"[13]
SpaceX Web:
"Starship’s fifth flight test lifted off on October 13, 2024, with our most ambitious test objectives yet as we work to demonstrate techniques fundamental to Starship and Super Heavy’s fully and rapidly reusable design.
And on our first try, Mechazilla caught the booster.
Following a successful liftoff, ascent, stage separation, boostback burn, and coast, the Super Heavy booster performed its landing burn and was caught by the chopstick arms of the launch and catch tower at Starbase. Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria had to be met prior to the catch attempt, and thanks to the tireless work of SpaceX engineers, we succeeded with catch on our first attempt.
Ready to catch a booster? starshipthegame.spacex.com
Prior to catch, Starship executed another successful hot-staging separation, igniting its six Raptor engines and completing ascent into outer space. It coasted along its planned trajectory to the other side of the planet before executing a controlled reentry, passing through the phases of peak heating and maximum aerodynamic pressure, before executing a flip, landing burn, and splashdown at its target area in the Indian Ocean. The flight test concluded at splashdown 1 hour, 5 minutes and 40 seconds after launch.
The entire SpaceX team should take pride in the engineering feat they just accomplished. The world witnessed what the future will look like when Starship starts carrying crew and cargo to destinations on Earth, the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Congratulations to the SpaceX team for taking this leap in our quest to make life multiplanetary. And thank you to our customers, Cameron County, spaceflight fans, and the wider community for the continued support and encouragement."[14]

Aims[]
The fifth flight test of Starship will aim to take another step towards full and rapid reusability. The primary objectives will attempt the first ever to return to a launch site and catch of the Super Heavy booster 12 and Starship will perform reentry for a 3rd time and landing burn, aiming for an successful on-target splashdown of Starship 30 in the Indian Ocean.[48]
The booster catch would however only be attempted if all criteria are met. SpaceX was talking about over thousand distinct criteria for the vehicle and pad. Furthermore, a manual command from the mission's flight director would be necessery.[49]
SpaceX Web - Introduction[]
Starship's fifth flight test could launch as soon as October 13, pending regulatory approval.
A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 30 minutes before liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app. The launch window will open as early as 7:00 a.m. CT. As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to stay tuned to our X account for updates.
Flight 4 was a tremendous success. A fully successful ascent was followed by the first ever booster soft-landing in the Gulf of Mexico and Starship making it through a brilliant reentry, before its own landing burn and splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
The fifth flight test of Starship will aim to take another step towards full and rapid reusability. The primary objectives will be attempting the first ever return to launch site and catch of the Super Heavy booster and another Starship reentry and landing burn, aiming for an on-target splashdown of Starship in the Indian Ocean.
Extensive upgrades ahead of this flight test have been made to hardware and software across Super Heavy, Starship, and the launch and catch tower infrastructure at Starbase. SpaceX engineers have spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt, with technicians pouring tens of thousands of hours into building the infrastructure to maximize our chances for success. We accept no compromises when it comes to ensuring the safety of the public and our team, and the return will only be attempted if conditions are right.
Thousands of distinct vehicle and pad criteria must be met prior to a return and catch attempt of the Super Heavy booster, which will require healthy systems on the booster and tower and a manual command from the mission’s Flight Director. If this command is not sent prior to the completion of the boostback burn, or if automated health checks show unacceptable conditions with Super Heavy or the tower, the booster will default to a trajectory that takes it to a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico.
The returning booster will slow down from supersonic speeds, resulting in audible sonic booms in the area around the landing zone. Generally, the only impact to those in the surrounding area of a sonic boom is the brief thunder-like noise with variables like weather and distance from the return site determining the magnitude experienced by observers.
Starship will fly a similar trajectory as the previous flight test with splashdown targeted in the Indian Ocean. This flight path does not require a deorbit burn for reentry, maximizing public safety while still providing the opportunity to meet our primary objective of a controlled reentry and soft water landing of Starship.
One of the key upgrades on Starship ahead of flight was a complete rework of its heatshield, with SpaceX technicians spending more than 12,000 hours replacing the entire thermal protection system with newer-generation tiles, a backup ablative layer, and additional protections between the flap structures. This massive effort, along with updates to the ship’s operations and software for reentry and landing burn, will look to improve upon the previous flight and bring Starship to a soft splashdown at the target area in the Indian Ocean.
With each flight building on the learnings from the last, testing improvements in hardware and operations across every facet of Starship, we’re on the verge of demonstrating techniques fundamental to Starship’s fully and rapidly reusable design. By continuing to push our hardware in a flight environment, and doing so as safely and frequently as possible, we’ll rapidly bring Starship online and revolutionize humanity’s ability to access space.[50]

11 September 2024[]
Jeff Foust cited a statement by FAA's Dan Murray at the Global Aerospace Summit on SpaceX launch licensing criticisms:
"We work well with SpaceX, and they get majority of our resources and 80% of overtime. License review schedules depend on completeness and stability of applications; changing information sets things back. He adds that environmental reviews are the pacing item for Starship flight 5 license modification; safety review also not complete but it will be done before environmental."[74][75]
The FAA released a statement in which they confirm that a license could not be expected before late November 2024:
"SpaceX's current license authorizing the Starship Flight 4 launch also allows for multiple flights of the same vehicle configuration and mission profile. SpaceX chose to modify both for its proposed Starship Flight 5 launch which triggered a more in-depth review. In addition, SpaceX submitted new information in mid-August detailing how the environmental impact of Flight 5 will cover a larger area than previously reviewed. This requires the FAA to consult with other agencies. SpaceX must meet all safety, environmental and other licensing requirements prior to FAA launch authorization. A final license determination for Starship Flight 5 is not expected before late November 2024."[76]
10 September 2024[]
"Rep. Garcia (R-CA) says at the hearing that he understands the approval of an updated FAA license for the next Starship test flight has slipped from this month to late November." [77]
SpaceX confirms the slip to late November a in blog post on website. This comes amidst allegations against SpaceX about water disposal without appropriate license. In their lengthly post, they reiterated several points made in their [[Starbase Launch/Testing Site#12 August 2024 - SpaceX Reply[20]|post on X]].[78] More info can be found on the article about the Starbase Launch/Test Site.
29 August 2024[]
Marcia Smith: "At NAC-HEO, Cathy Koerner (head of ESDMD) says they are looking forward to SpaceX's 5th Starship test "later this fall."[79]
10 August 2024[]
On 10 August 2024, Elon Musk said that launch could happen in "about 3 weeks"[47].
08 August 2024[]
SpaceX announced: "Flight 5 Starship and Super Heavy are ready to fly, pending regulatory approval. Additional booster catch testing and Flight 6 vehicle testing is planned while waiting for clearance to fly"[80].
26 July 2024[]
SpaceX conducted a 6 Engine Static Fire of Ship 30 at Masseys Outpost 3 days after finishing the heat shield tile work of Ship 30 and being rolled out. Which meant the only thing left For flight 5 was a full Wet Dress Rehearsal of both Booster 12 And Ship 30 at the launch site. Historically the wet dress rehearsal preceded the first launch attempt by a one to three weeks.
23 July 2024 - Launch license modification.[]
FAA: San Antonio Express-News reporting FAA has told them SpaceX has officially requested a license modification for Flight 5 of Starship. The FAA did not give indications on the nature of the request or timelines.[81]
15 July 2024[]
SpaceX conducted a 33 Engine Static Fire for Booster 12 paving the way for the launch. This also meant that all that was left was a Static fire and rollout of Ship 30
5 July 2024[]
Elon Musk: "flight 5 in 4 weeks" posted on twitter, setting the launch date for 2 August 2024
15 June 2024[]
Elon Musk: "Aiming To try this [booster catch attempt] in late July!"[82] implying a launch in late July.
10 June 2024[]
Elon Musk confirmed that they are "Aiming for Flight 5 and Booster catch next month. If the booster has issues it will target the Gulf of Mexico"[83]
07 June 2024[]
Addressing an issue that came up during flight 4, the structural strength of forward flaps, Elon Musk answered to Everyday Astronaut: "We will have this nailed for next flight."[84] "Note, a newer version of Starship has the forward flaps shifted leeward. This will help improve reliability, ease of manufacturing and payload to orbit."[85]
06 June 2024[]
Elon Musk: I think we should try to catch the booster with the Mechazilla arms next flight. [86][87]
06 April 2024 - SpaceX Company All Hands.[]
During the company all hands meeting, Elon Musk revealed that a tower catch for Flight 5 is possible, but it depends on the success of Flight 4 during the landing in the ocean on a "Virtual tower".[88]
