SpaceX Prepares for New Starship Test Flight

SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, is preparing to launch its Starship rocket for the tenth time from Texas on Sunday. The aim is to achieve milestones missed in previous unsuccessful tests.

The development of SpaceX's next-generation rocket, intended for manned lunar missions by NASA in 2027 and for missions to Mars, has faced several challenges. This year, there have been failures during testing, including an explosion that caused debris to scatter on Mexican territory.

The company continues to produce new Starships for test flights. The latest version of Starship features increased thrust, a durable heat shield, and stronger steering fins, which are crucial for atmospheric re-entry and reuse.
