After a lot of upgrades, this afternoon Starship lifted off for the seventh time, and like usual it was eventful. Notably, this was the first flight with Starship V2, an upgraded Starship variant that features a larger size, new forward flap positions, avionics, etc. For this reason, the plan was a very busy upper-stage flight profile filled with engine relights, the first payload deployment, and then re-entry.

Unfortunately, the ship experienced a RUD right around the engine cutoff. As for the booster, for a second time, it successfully was caught by the chopsticks on the launch tower which featured upgrades to its hardware and sensors.
