The seventh Starship test flight

January 19, 2025

Unfortunately, not everything went as planned and the ship broke apart during acceleration. This time, a second-generation rocket with design modifications was tested, as well as for the first time with a payload - mock-ups of Starlink satellites. The booster was successfully caught with 'claws' on the tower, but the ship itself broke apart and fell down in small debris. The exact causes of the incident will still be analyzed.
