Since April 2023, Super Heavy has been launched 6 times, with 4 successes and 2 failures. The vehicle Super Heavy composes when combined with the Starship spacecraft, Starship,[1] has been developed with the intention of lowering launch costs using economies of scale.[2] SpaceX aims to achieve this by reusing both rocket stages, increasing payload mass to orbit, increasing launch frequency, creating a mass-manufacturing pipeline and adapting it to a wide range of space missions.[3][4] Starship is the latest project in SpaceX's reusable launch system development program and plan to colonize Mars.
There are currently three planned versions of Super Heavy: Block 1 (also known as Version 1 or V1), Block 2, and Block 3. As of September 2024, Block 1 Super Heavy booster are expected to be compatible with Block 1 and Block 2 Starships.[5] As of November 2024, only Block 1 vehicles have flown.[6] The Super Heavy booster is reusable, and is recovered via large arms on the tower capable of catching the descending vehicle.[7] As of November 2024, 0 boosters have been refurbished and subsequently flown at least a second time, though a single booster, Booster 12, has been recovered after flight.[8]
