The total test duration was 6 minutes 26 seconds.
The SN9 prototype climbed to an altitude of about 10 km, after which it had to make a smooth landing at the test site.
SN9 did not land vertically.
It exploded when it touched the paved area next to the launch pad.
The first stage of tests was carried out on December 10, then the rocket also exploded and collapsed on landing, but the test was still considered successful.
