Starship 10 Test Flight – SpaceX Shares Big Rocket Updates!

A live webcast of the flight test will begin about 30 minutes before liftoff, which you can watch here. As is the case with all developmental testing, the schedule is dynamic and likely to change, so be sure to check in here and stay tuned for updates. After completing the investigations into the loss of Starship on its ninth flight test and the Ship 36 static fire anomaly, hardware and operational changes have been made to increase reliability. You can read the full technical summary of the investigations here. The upcoming flight will continue to expand the operating envelope on the Super Heavy booster, with multiple landing burn tests planned. It will also target similar objectives as previous missions, including Starship’s first payload deployment and multiple reentry experiments geared towards returning the upper stage to the launch site for catch.
