US EditionCloudy weather delays SpaceX Starship's latest launch to overcome testing troubles
SpaceX delayed Starship's 10th test flight to troubleshoot a ground systems leak, following multiple failures this year that challenge progress toward Mars and NASA lunar missions.
- On Sunday, SpaceX stood down from Flight 10 to troubleshoot a ground-systems issue, rescheduling the launch for Monday, August 25, 2025, at Starbase, Texas with a 7:30 p.m. ET window.
- The Starship program faces technical hurdles, with development setbacks this year complicating reentry and rapid reusability as NASA aims to use the rocket soon for crewed lunar missions.
- Flight 10 will carry eight mock Starlink satellites and attempt an in-space engine restart, with splashdowns planned in the Gulf of Mexico and Indian Ocean near Australia.
- The FAA approved the planned flight last week, yet environmental groups and the Mexican government criticize debris risks, while analysts warn pressure could influence Starship's future.
- Longer term, the company frames mishaps as part of a rapid iterative development approach, retiring current Starship prototypes soon to pursue larger Starship iterations amid formidable challenges.
