| Ascent | Full ship burn | Completed |
| Payload door | Open and close | Demonstrated |
| Propellant | Internal transfer test | Operations completed |
| Engine restart | In-space relight | Skipped due to roll |
What worked
Full ship ascent, payload-door operation and internal liquid-oxygen transfer were demonstrated.
Lessons & anomalies
SpaceX identified likely oxygen-filter blockage on the booster and clogged ship roll-control valves. Poor attitude control caused excessive entry heating.
