The SN9 Starship performed a first flight similar to the one of SN8. It launched up to an altitude of 10 km or 33,000 ft, did a belly flop maneuver and a controlled descent to the landing pad where the landing flip maneuver was unsuccessful and resulted in the destruction of the prototype on impact.
SN9 is the first starship prototype to be fully made of 304L stainless steel. It was destroyed on landing after its first flight.
