SpaceX is preparing for the 10th full-scale test flight of its Starship rocket, scheduled for August 24, after receiving FAA approval. The company aims to overcome recent technical failures that have plagued its Starship program, including four unsuccessful test flights and a destructive ground test earlier this year. The upcoming flight is crucial for advancing key milestones in rocket recovery and in-orbit refueling.
Elon Musk announced that SpaceX is targeting its first catch attempt of the Starship rocket during flights 13 to 15, contingent upon the success of upcoming V3 test flights. The recent successful Flight 10 included significant mission objectives, setting the stage for future advancements in SpaceX's plans for interplanetary travel. However, the catch attempt may be delayed until 2026 due to the need for accelerated launch rates.
