Elon Musk’s SpaceX will launch the tenth flight test of the Starship vehicle and the Super Heavy Booster on Sunday, August 24, more than three months after the last devastating effort.
On Tuesday, May 27, Starship broke over the Indian Ocean 46 minutes after launch. It was the third flight test failure in succession, though much more than the two previous tests, both of which ended with the starship that explodes just minutes after the launch. Starship was also tested twice in 2023 and four times in 2024.
What time will SpaceX’s Starship 10 be released?
The spacex Starship 10 launch window will open at 6:30 pm CDT/7: 30 pm EDT on Sunday, August 24, though this does not mean that the launch will happen at that time. If previous test flights are something you need to go through, wait for delays. “As with all development tests, the timetable is dynamic and likely to change, so make sure you check in here and stay tuned to our X account for updates” states SpaceX on its website.
The launch will be broadcast live Spacex.com; YouTube and X (twitter) About 30 minutes before launch.
What to expect during SpaceX’s Starship 10 flight 10
There will be no attempt to catch the super heavy reinforcement as it returns to the launch pillow using giant chopsticks, which has already been successfully tested. This time, the Super Heavy Booster will attempt multiple experimental landing burns, including a suspended test before launching in the Gulf of Mexico.
Once Airborne, Starship itself, will develop eight Starlink satellite satellites, try to relieve one of its engines in the middle of the flight and test a new series of tiles, materials and accessories during repetition.

What is SpaceX’s Starship?
A two -part launch vehicle, Starship is designed to carry 100 tonnes to Mars or carry up to 100 people to long -term interplanetary flights, according to Spacex. The vehicle could also be used for flight to point to point, reducing times for most international trips in 30 minutes.
Starship refers to the top of the rocket, where the load will be transported – such as satellites or people, with the section called Super Heavy Booster. When stacked on the launch pad, the whole vehicle is about 403 feet (123 meters) tall. The Super Heavy is designed to be fully reusable and caught in “chopsticks” three times from the first successful test on October 13, 2024. Starship is also designed to land, although this has not yet been tested.
When stacked fully, it is referred to as the super heavy launch vehicle.
I wish you clear skies and wide eyes.
