SpaceX s Starship SN8 is pictured on the launch pad in Boca Chica, Texas, on December 7, 2020, as it prepares for the vehicle s first attempt of a high-altitude suborbital flight test. This suborbital flight is designed to test several objectives, from how the vehicle s three Raptor engines perform to the vehicle s overall aerodynamic entry capabilities (including its body flaps) to how the vehicle manages propellant transition. SN8 will also attempt to perform a landing flip maneuver, a first for a vehicle of this size. WAX2020120707 SPACEX
