Message to Edit: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	Originally posted by Robert Pearlman on 05-13-2021 08:02 PM SpaceX document (<a href="https://apps.fcc.gov/els/GetAtt.html?id=273481&x=" target="AirLock">via FCC</a>) <blockquote><font size="+0">[b]Starship Orbital First Flight FCC Exhibit[/b]</font> The Starship Orbital test flight will originate from Starbase, TX. The Booster stage will separate approximately 170 seconds into flight. The Booster will then perform a partial return and land in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 20 miles from the shore. The Orbital Starship will continue on flying between the Florida Straits. It will achieve orbit until performing a powered, targeted landing approximately 100km (~62 miles) off the northwest coast of Kauai in a soft ocean landing.

This data will anchor any changes in vehicle design or CONOPs after the first flight and build better models for us to use in our internal simulations.</blockquote>
