Description

Ship 26 is the 26th Starship developed by SpaceX, capable of lifting around 200 tons to low Earth orbit. Unlike its predecessors, it lacks heat shield tiles and fins. Theories about its role range from being a tanker to a focus on non-reentry objectives. Initially displayed at the rocket garden, it was moved to pad B at the suborbital launch site on September 7, 2023, where it underwent a single cryogenic test.
