This is version 2 of Starship, with some upgrades, such as longer starship. "Upgrades include a redesigned upper-stage propulsion system that can carry 25 per cent more propellant, along with slimmer, repositioned forward flaps to reduce exposure to heat during re-entry. For the first time, Starship will deploy 10 Starlink simulators" [1]. https://arstechnica.com/space/2025/01/heres-what-nasa-would-...
