SpaceX readies its seventh test flight of Starship, the most powerful rocket ever designed. The trial will test upgrades to the spacecraft and deploy mock satellites.

Shortly after Friday's rehearsal, SpaceX pushed Starship's seventh test flight to Wednesday. See the new schedule for the rocket's first 2025 flight.

SpaceX successfully guided Starship’s booster back to a landing site in Texas but lost the main spacecraft around 10 minutes into the flight. The test flight was the seventh attempt from Boca Chica, Texas. Blue Origin's New Glenn finally roared into orbit in the early hours of Thursday, with SpaceX's Starship rocket set to launch hours later.

SpaceX launched 21 of its Starlink internet satellites early Jan. 21, five days after a test flight of the company's Starship megarocket ended in an explosion.

Elon Musk's SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket loaded with nearly two dozen Starlink communication satellites into space early Tuesday from Florida.

SpaceX for the third time scrubbed plans to launch 27 more Starlink internet satellites into low-earth orbit from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California with an earlier one postponed because of a Delta jet nearby.
