Starship S26 [SpaceX]
Starship-S26 is an orbital prototype for SpaceX' reusable Starship space transportation system.
For the second (originally third) flight a reduced prototype is planned, which does neither feature a heatshield nor aerodynamic surfaces and which therefore can not survive reentry.
Starship-S27 is a similar prototype for the third (originally fourth) flight.
