SpaceX is now targeting the launch of its Starship Flight 10 test mission for Tuesday (Aug. 26) at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT) after back to back delays.

SpaceX's Starship soared to new heights for 2025 in its latest flight test from Starbase, Texas. When will the world’s largest rocket launch again?

The test flight was a big success, with both the Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft achieving soft splashdowns.

SpaceX has faced public scrutiny for its previous Starship test failures. Its leadership insists that the company's rapid break-it-fix-it strategy is all part of the company's unique iterative philosophy — in stark contrast with NASA 's much slower and careful approach.

SpaceX called off a launch attempt Sunday after detecting a leak in the plumbing that flows super-cold liquid oxygen propellant into the rocket. Technicians fixed the problem in time for another countdown 24 hours later, but the risk of lightning in the area prevented Starship from lifting off Monday evening.

After a series of failures during recent test flights, SpaceX's massive Starship had a smooth ride for Tuesday's blastoff and successfully deployed some fake satellites.
