SpaceX launches Starship on another test flight, this time with the most advanced Starlinks
· KRGV (NBC 5)
On July 24, 2026, SpaceX's Starship rocket successfully launched from Starbase, Texas, carrying 20 advanced Starlink satellites. The 407-foot rocket is part of ongoing tests to prepare for its use as a lunar lander for NASA's Artemis III mission. After previous engine issues led to a launch abort, SpaceX replaced six engines on the booster. During this flight, the Starlinks were deployed to communicate with older models in orbit. The mission aims to validate the heat shield's performance before future reentry attempts. SpaceX continues to work towards making Starship fully reusable for missions to the Moon and Mars.
