The Starship spacecraft is preparing for a landing in the Indian Ocean, a routine procedure that has been conducted on previous test flights. On these occasions, the spacecraft has been left to sink into the ocean as SpaceX refines its recovery techniques.
During the last test flight in October, Starship successfully landed in the intended position. However, for the upcoming test flight, SpaceX is planning to gather new data and will not necessarily aim to replicate the previous success.
