On Aug 4, 2020,  the SN-5 Starship performed a successful 150 meter hop flight test, landing at an adjacent landing site, thus becoming the first full scale prototype to perform a successful flight test. After the flight, Elon Musk stated that SpaceX would carry out several additional short flights in order to refine the launch process, before attempting a high altitude flight using a vehicle with body flaps.
