Minutes after liftoff, the rocket booster, known as Super Heavy, separated from the spacecraft as planned and landed in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Starship capsule headed east for about an hour-long flight, splashing down in the Indian Ocean.
The prior three test flights of the world's largest and most powerful rocket ended in explosions.
NASA has ordered two Starships for a pair of moon-landing missions planned for later this decade.
