Serial Number 11 is a Starship prototype that was destroyed during its high altitude test flight. SN11 successfully made it to 10km and flipped into a sky dive configuration, also known as the belly flop. During engine relight, engine 2 suffered a hard start in the CH4 turbopump due to fried avionics from a CH4 fire, causing SN11 to RUD.[1]

Construction

Testing

SN11 was rolled out to Test Stand 2 on 08 March 2021, 5 days after SN10 semi-successfully landed and RUD'd. Unlike SN10, SN11 was rolled out to the pad with all 3 engines already installed.
