SpaceX Starship Flight 7

Starship flight test 7 was the seventh flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch vehicle. Flight 7 lifted off from Orbital Launch Pad 1 (OLP-1) on January 16, 2025, at 22:37:00 UTC at the Starbase launch site in Texas. The prototype vehicles flown were Booster 14, a Block 2 vehicle, and Ship 33, the first Block 2 upper stage, which introduced upgrades in structure, avionics, and other systems. The mission was to follow a trajectory similar to the previous flight, with a planned splashdown in the Indian Ocean about an hour after liftoff, to be imaged by a NASA observation aircraft. It also planned to test a new Starlink satellite deployment system.
