Starhopper

Starhopper was a prototype rocket built by SpaceX to test the Raptor engine and the Starship program. It was the first prototype of the Starship program. It had a single engine and was test flown to develop landing and low-altitude/low-velocity control algorithms.

 

After it completed its testing campaign Starhopper was repurposed as a water tank, weather station and equipment mount for cameras, lights, loudspeakers and a radar system.
