Briefing
Starship Flight 11 concludes ten integrated flights and an extensive ground‑test campaign (static fires, tanking, cryogenic proof tests), effectively ending the vehicle's current "Version 2" development phase.

Recent milestones — including Flight 10's hot‑staging, in‑space relight, soft splashdown and mock payload deployments — combined with movement and static testing of a previously flown Super Heavy to the pad, show the programme is transitioning from iterative test risk to exercises in reuse and operational reliability: https://hype.aero/?story=af36c37b-59a6-402e-bfa7-d770acc31bb2 and https://hype.aero/?story=267efe42-baaf-4b80-8f60-33ec8df68cd5
