Watch Starship's thirteenth flight test x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Falcon 9 launches the @SemperCitiusSDA’s third Tranche 1 data transport mission to low-Earth orbit

To be confident of a good flight, 2 Raptors will be removed & replaced. Most probable launch timing is early next week.

Some of the engines didn’t start, triggering an automatic launch abort. Now offloading propellant. Next launch attempt hopefully in a few days.

Standing down from today’s flight test attempt

Clock has resumed counting down

T-60 seconds and holding. Teams are using this time for final checks. All systems continue to look good for today’s flight test

Starlink Mini Lasers will deliver high-bandwidth connectivity to NASA’s Orion Spacecraft during Artemis III

Each Starlink V3 satellite is equipped with six high-capacity 400 gigabit space lasers, allowing high-bandwidth traffic to flow uninterrupted between any two points in the world with redundant paths across a petabit laser mesh network → starlink.com/updates/starli…

A key objective will be to test vehicle maneuverability while docked as the plan for future Moon landings will have Starship perform the burn to send astronauts to the Moon from Earth orbit

During next year’s Artemis III mission, teams will practice rendezvous, docking, and proximity operations in low-Earth orbit

Our Starmind AI satellite constellation and Terafab advanced chip manufacturing center together represent a step toward a Kardashev Type II civilization by harnessing more of the Sun's power, supporting massive AI applications, and advancing humanity's multi-planetary future

Today’s flight test will deploy 20 next generation Starlink satellites, which will only have about 20 minutes to attempt a series of activation and connection tests before they reenter Earth’s atmosphere → starlink.com/updates/starli…

In case you missed it, check out the 2nd episode of our Starship series. “Critical Path” follows SpaceX engineers through the final days before launch of the first Starship V3 and the challenges that come with development of the world’s most powerful and fully reusable rocket → spacex.com/content/starsh…

Live webcast of Starship's 13th flight test starts now

Propellant load has begun

The Starship team is GO for propellant load. All systems and weather are looking good for today’s flight test

Falcon 9’s first stage has landed on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship

Liftoff!

Watch Falcon 9 launch the @SemperCitiusSDA’s third Tranche 1 data transport mission to low-Earth orbit x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

All systems are looking good, and weather is favorable for liftoff. Propellant load is about to begin for Falcon 9’s launch of the @SemperCitiusSDA's third Tranche 1 data transport mission from California → spacex.com/launches/sda-t…
