SN9 mirrored most of the tasks before suffering an engine issue during the pre-landing flip.<\/p>\n<p>Those tasks will continue to be refined as SN10 rose into the South Texas skyline, initially under the power of her three Raptor engines. During ascent, one engine shut down, followed by a second, before the final remaining engine reoriented the ship for its belly-flop descent before it too shut down.<\/p>\n<p>For SN8 and SN9, both vehicles showed good aerosurface controllability during the belly-flop back to the landing site. This was a major objective for Starship. This was once again the case for SN10.<\/p>\n<p>However, once again, the focus was on the flip and landing burn, with SN8 completing the flip before losing CH4 (liquid methane \u2013 fuel) Header Tank pressure resulting in a \u201chard\u201d landing, while SN9 lost an engine during the flip that led to a crash into the landing pad.<\/p>\n<p>Space Technology<path d=\"M7.59009 18.59L9.00009 20L17.0001 12L9.00009 4L7.59009 5.41L14.1701 12\" style=\"animation: initial !important; background: initial !important; border: 0px !important; box-shadow: none !important; color: inherit !important; cursor: inherit !important; direction: inherit !important; display: inline !important; fill: currentcolor !important; filter: initial !important; float: none !important; margin: 0px !important; opacity: initial !important; outline: 0px !important; overflow: initial !important; padding: 0px !important; stroke: initial !important; transform: initial !important; vertical-align: initial !important; visibility: inherit !important;\"><\/path>SpaceX launch tickets<path d=\"M7.59009 18.59L9.00009 20L17.0001 12L9.00009 4L7.59009 5.41L14.1701 12\" style=\"animation: initial !important; background: initial !important; border: 0px !important; box-shadow: none !important; color: inherit !important; cursor: inherit !important; direction: inherit !important; display: inline !important; fill: currentcolor !important; filter: initial !important; float: none !important; margin: 0px !important; opacity: initial !important; outline: 0px !important; overflow: initial !important; padding: 0px !important; stroke: initial !important; transform: initial !important; vertical-align: initial !important; visibility: inherit !important;\"><\/path>Space Shuttle<path d=\"M7.59009 18.59L9.00009 20L17.0001 12L9.00009 4L7.59009 5.41L14.1701 12\" style=\"animation: initial !important; background: initial !important; border: 0px !important; box-shadow: none !important; color: inherit !important; cursor: inherit !important; direction: inherit !important; display: inline !important; fill: currentcolor !important; filter: initial !important; float: none !important; margin: 0px !important; opacity: initial !important; outline: 0px !important; overflow: initial !important; padding: 0px !important; stroke: initial !important; transform: initial !important; vertical-align: initial !important; visibility: inherit !important;\"><\/path>\n<p>     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/p>\n<p>With helium pressurization looking good after the issue suffered by SN8\u2019s CH4 Header Tank, mitigation of SN9\u2019s point of failure saw all three engines lit during the flip maneuver before deselecting the engine with the least lever arm \u201cif all three are good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75753\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1287\" height=\"654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx.jpg 1287w, https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx-350x178.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx-630x320.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx-768x390.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nasaspaceflight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/EtafrQeUcAUwaJx-1170x595.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1287px) 100vw, 1287px\"><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-75753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brendan Lewis (@_brendan_lewis) diagram of the flip change<\/p>\n<p>Elon also noted how Starship would react if all three engines do relight, given \u201cengines have a min throttle point where there is flameout risk, so landing on three engines means high thrust\/weight (further away from hover point), which is also risky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, this proved to be a great call, as all three did relight, before one was quickly deselected, before shutting down another engine to land on a single Raptor.<\/p>\n<p>Testing SN10\u2019s engines has involved two Static Fire tests.<\/p>\n<p>The first appeared to be nominal, prior to Elon noting that one engine was \u201csuspect\u201d and would require removal and replacement.<\/p>\n<p>That task usually adds over a week to the timeline.
