The verified answer

As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies Starship, a aerial by SpaceX (prototype).

Overview

SpaceX's fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle — the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. 13 test flights since 2023; not yet orbital. Crucial for Starlink expansion and planned Starmind AI satellite network.

Verified vs. claimed

Maturity stage
prototype(Demo-capable; limited or one-off public appearances.)

No verified deployments on file. DEPLOY tracks independently-sourced deployment evidence separately from manufacturer capability claims.

Pricing

No verified price is on record for Starship. Physical-AI systems are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price.

Common questions

What is Starship?
SpaceX's fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle — the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. 13 test flights since 2023; not yet orbital. Crucial for Starlink expansion and planned Starmind AI satellite network.
How much does Starship cost?
Starship's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for Starship from SpaceX. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
Is Starship actually deployed in the real world?
Starship is at the prototype stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
Who makes Starship?
Starship is made by SpaceX, based in Hawthorne, California, USA, founded in 2002.
Can you buy Starship?
Starship is at prototype stage and is not yet available for sale.
What are alternatives to Starship?
On the DEPLOY registry, comparable aerial robots to Starship include Skydio X10, Prime Air MK30, Zipline Platform 2 (P2), MQ-9 Reaper.
How does Starship compare to Skydio X10?
Starship and Skydio X10 (Skydio · 20 deployments) are both aerial robots on the DEPLOY registry. Starship has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
What is Starship's maturity stage?
Starship is at the prototype stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Prototype stage means demonstrations exist but commercial readiness is not yet established.
Where is Starship deployed?
No verified deployments of Starship are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
Is Starship safe?
Starship has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
