It was revealed that Starship's electronic equipment has been "completely redesigned" and the entire arrow is equipped with more than 30 high-definition cameras to provide more comprehensive flight surveillance.

At the same time, the propellant load capacity has increased by 25%, and the overall height has also increased by 3.1 meters, further enhancing its performance.The position of the front flap has also been carefully adjusted to optimize flight attitude control.

Especially striking, the IFT-7 mission will pioneer the deployment of payloads—10 simulated satellites—in space.The simulated satellites are both similar in size and weight to SpaceX's next-generation Starlink satellites, and are intended as a practical exercise for future satellite deployment missions.These simulated satellites will enter suborbital with the starship and are planned to eventually splash into the Indian Ocean to test the feasibility and safety of the entire deployment process.

SpaceX has signed an agreement with NASA to use the powerful carrying capacity of the starship to send American astronauts to the moon by 2030.The smooth progress of the IFT-7 mission will undoubtedly lay a solid foundation for the realization of this ambitious goal.
