SpaceX launches Starship on another test flight, this time with the most advanced Starlinks
SpaceX successfully launched its Starship and Super Heavy v3 Booster on July 24, 2026, marking the 13th test flight of the world's largest rocket. The flight, monitored by NASA, is a crucial step toward using Starship as a lunar lander, and involved deploying advanced Starlink satellites equipped with cameras to test the spacecraft's heat shield. Following the flight, SpaceX aims to assess the heat shield's durability before attempting a controlled return to the launch pad in Texas.
