SpaceX conducted a free flight of its Starhopper prototype launch vehicle following a brief attempt a day earlier at the companys south Texas-based facility, SpaceNews reported Friday.
The test took place Thursday, July 25, before midnight and saw Starhopper fire its Raptor engine to lift off and briefly remain airborne before landing back to the launch pad.
Starhopper is designed to operate in low-altitude flights and serves as the first prototype for the companys reusable launcher called Starship.
SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said he expects the Starship Mark 1 prototypes, which are currently in production at SpaceXs facilities in south Texas and Cocoa, Fla., to conduct orbital test flights in a few months.
