List of Starship vehicles

Since April 2023, Starship has been launched 11 times, with 6 successes and 5 failures. The vehicle Starship when combined with the Super Heavy booster, also named Starship, has been developed with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale. SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline and adapting it to a wide range of space missions. Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's reusable launch system development program and plan to colonize Mars.

There are three versions of Starship: Block 1 (also known as Version 1 or V1), Block 2, and Block 3, the proposed variants include a depot, Starship HLS, and Starship Crew. Block 2 Starships are designed to be compatible with Block 1 and with future Block 2 boosters. As of September 2025, Block 1 vehicles have been retired, and four Block 2 vehicles have flown so far. The Starship spacecraft is intended to be reusable, and to be recovered via large arms on the tower capable of catching the descending vehicle.
