Space designers Erc X (@ErcXspace) and smallstars (@smvllstvrs) co-created a powerful new animation that shows a full flight simulation of Starship and even earned Elon Musk\u2019s seal of approval. <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-5803\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI am really excited to share this and want to thank everyone in #TeamSpace for their amazing work,\u201d Erc X wrote on Twitter. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 121-second animation introduces Starship in all its shiny glory as it lifts off from SpaceX\u2019s South Texas site. SpaceX currently conducts test hops, or short-duration flights, using prototype development versions of Starship hardware at its Texas property.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After main engine cutoff occurs in space, Starship\u2019s first stage begins its descent back to Earth before landing precisely back at its launchpad. SpaceX has pioneered rocket booster reusability as a key strategy to lower the cost of access to space.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-5803',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"post-youtube-video-1\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZDXazpbe2Iw?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZDXazpbe2Iw?version=3&amp;rel=0&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;enablejsapi=1\" title=\"SpaceX Starship Full Flight Animation.\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the full flight animation, Starship then deploys a massive load of SpaceX Starlink internet satellites. SpaceX currently sends these broadband satellites in batches of 60 using the much smaller Falcon 9 rocket, but the dramatically larger Starship cargo can support many more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the video portrays a Starship fairing designed to return to Earth for recovery and reuse, and the ship safely lands on a separate pad back at the launch site. It\u2019s a remarkable vision that shows us a glimpse at that not so distant future that SpaceX is currently building. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How accurate is this portrayal of a full flight for a future Starship mission? Just ask Elon who calls it \u201cvery close to the actual expected flight!\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 250px; height: 597px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=apollozac&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1323288694955061257&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2020%2F11%2F02%2Fstarship-full-flight-animation-video%2F&amp;sessionId=5e9022dade05872bbdf080f0c31a84925728e30d&amp;siteScreenName=space_explored&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=500px\" data-tweet-id=\"1323288694955061257\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SpaceX Starship now a \u2018top priority,\u2019 Elon Musk says in message calling for accelerated development<\/li>\n<li>SpaceX launches and lands Starship prototype for lunar human landing system and Mars missions<\/li>\n<li>NASA wants to use SpaceX Starship as a gas station for rockets to the Moon and Mars<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpaceX is fast at work on developing its next-generation launch system called Starship, and people can\u2019t wait to see the deep space rocket take flight.
