While SpaceX has successfully performed three "catches" of the Super Heavy booster as of 16 October 2025, it has not attempted a "catch" of a Starship (Space.com, Teslarati). The most recent Starship launch was Flight 11 completed on 13 October 2025 (CNN). A catch will be considered successful upon the ship being "caught" as intended after a space flight reaching an altitude of at least 100 km (Britannica - Karman Line). The capture of the booster will not count.
