On its website SpaceX said the next Starship flight test aims to expand the envelope on ship and booster capabilities and get closer to bringing reusability of the entire system online. Objectives included returning to the launch site once again to catch hold of the booster, restarting a ship Raptor engine while in space, and testing a suite of heatshield experiments and prior to the ship’s re-entry and descent into the Indian Ocean. Includes changes in maneuverability.
