Starship Flight Three (IFT-3/OFT-3) lifted off in the morning of March 14th 2024.
Starship successfully reached orbital velocity while performing a number of tasks during the coast phase. However, an uncontrollable spin developed which doomed the reentry sequence of the vehicle. This video goes over the entire entry phase of flight, reconstructed from onboard video.

Re-entering bare stainless steel and engine side first and still survived at peak orbital velocity until slowing down at least 1000km/h and reaching the thicker part of the atmosphere before it break apart is just crazy.
Who would've thought a rocket could be so durable when you build them with same industrial principle of a bulldozer.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure it was far from peak heating at that stage. Even though the plasma is visible that does not mean that plasma is dense enough to generate much heat or tear apart the ship. Let's see for Flight 4 thought, I'm looking forward to it.
@@neobrandeggen i said peak orbital velocity. It's when the spacecraft hit the earth atmosphere at it's fastest speed before getting slowed down. Right before peak heating.
@@LeftOverMacNCheese Yea sorry, I just meant that I think that point is far away from the stress the ship would endure at peak heating/peak aerodynamic force.
Somewhat stabilized just before it broke up
I also don't have nearly as much data closer to the breakup due to the lack of camera feed. It's likely it went completely steel-side into the plasma as well during that time
Could be, but ge also could’ve just done that since there is little telemetry info of what happened so the telem made it seem stable
It was a perfect mission. They have clean data with no RCS interference, wide variety of altitude velocity and flap angles. and they have a data package for a flight profile that hopefully they never have to experience again. It was genius to let it fall out of the sky partially uncontrolled. These people continue to amaze me. Somebody is helping them. Somebody not human.
@@memyselfandi8544 i think the lack of RCS was an unintentional problem, but you make a great point regardless. The freefall through atmo definitely is what cost the ship its life, but its also exactly the kind of scenario spacex gets the *best kind* of data from, and a scenario they already need to make a contingency for; à la shuttle contingencies
@@memyselfandi8544 I was with you until that last part, you talking bout god or aliens
"The heat shield tiles doing their work"
Meanwhile Starship:
Proceeding to receiving plasma on its ass
Starship did a "Columbia shuttle" indeed.
Genius. Perfect mission.
This is so much better quality that what I produced lol congrats 🎉
Holy....
Let him cook
Absolutely incredible!
Great work!
Great work this is so cool and informative!
Very well done! Thanks for doing this!
Why don't you have more views, this is great work!
Excellent work. Thanks.
Incredible work!!!!
Can I make a request? in your animation, fly a second Starship (at 50 meters to the left or something) but that one flies the right wa. This will help by providing relative motion and scale to the entire flight and shed more light on what went wrong.
Also I have no idea what that chart\diagram was. I could not understand it.
But again, Incredible work!!!!
The graph with the three colors represent the rotation rates or each of the three axis of the ship. Z (roll) axis is blue, X (pitch) axis is red, Y (yaw) axis is blue.
The graph below it with the two blue lines represent the rotation position of the two flaps visible in frame
incredible man
Great Work!
Good job 👍
Quality work. Would kill to get my hands on some raw files to dump into arcGIS. Could do some real GTA flyby animations with geolocated accuracy
Love it. 🥰
Wow, absolutely amazing.
I wonder if you could combine both external views.
Can you estimate where it landed compared to where it was supposed to land?
amazing work to create this animation, ever considered doing one for jaxxa slim lander last 50m of descent? Enough data on two videos of the landing data to do an animation...........if interested let me know I can help with data from one video for last 50m.
Seems they cooked every angle of starship got to be useful info/data, mistakes can be very rewarding.
I wonder if there was someone onboard if they could have controlled it manually?
wow
Do we yet know what caused the loss of RCS? Stuck or frozen thrusters?
POG
Is it me or did the mechanism for flaps failed instantly that’s where the whole instability of the ship started . How does the centre of gravity of the ship due to propellant loading had an impact on the ship’s re-entry
15:07 yea but it’s going engine bay first…
I wish the animation would show the thrusters operating, presumably trying to keep it oriented correctly. Or did they all fail? In fact, where are such thrusters located around the Starship?
Yeah we did not observe any thruster action pretty much at all during the flight. Especially odd, but also it could just be very transparent that high up in the atmosphere and therefor impossible to discern
I consider it likely that the cause of Starship's roll during the coast phase was due to a stuck vent or thruster. Starship could well have depleted its propellant reserves trying to counter it, which means when reentry started it would have no thruster fuel to establish the correct attitude for the flaps to work as intended
Looks like it was decelerating at more than 1g when the signal was lost!
I dare you to animate the estimated breaking of starship
