After multiple delays, SpaceX’s Starship rocket has successfully completed its tenth test flight, marking a significant milestone in the company’s space program.
During the mission, the Starship deployed dummy Starlink satellites to demonstrate its ability to place payloads into orbit. The test flight also included trials of newly designed heat shield tiles, aimed at improving the vehicle’s re-entry performance.
The achievement is seen as a major step forward for SpaceX’s long-term ambitions, which include large-scale satellite deployment, deep-space missions, and future crewed flights to the Moon and Mars.
