On August 26, 2025, SpaceX successfully launched its Starship-Super Heavy system from Starbase, Texas, marking the 10th full-stack test flight. The Super Heavy booster performed controlled burns before splashing into the Gulf of Mexico, while Starship entered orbit and deployed eight dummy satellites—a first for the program. The vehicle also conducted an in-space Raptor engine relight test before reentry. Starship reentered Earth’s atmosphere and splashed into the Indian Ocean, sustaining some damage but achieving mission goals. The test showcased significant progress toward reusable spacecraft, advancing SpaceX’s ambitions for Moon, Mars, and Starlink missions. (PC: SpaceX)
