Elon's SpaceX Starship:
Ship 36 single engine static fire. To simulate an in-space burn.
For Ship 36's upcoming orbital velocity flight attempt (IFT 10), it must be able to successfully perform such an engine restart during flight. This is to prove that V2 Starship upper stages can do a de-orbit burn, before they can circularize their orbits. This is to avoid leaving a tumbling 100+ metric ton heat-shielded object stranded in space.
