Elon Musk's Starship successfully completed its tenth test flight with a dramatic mission!
The American company SpaceX completed its tenth rocket test launch today. Although the tail of the Starship was damaged, it successfully entered the Indian Ocean. Previous three launches had all ended in failure.
In this flight, for the first time, eight Starlink communication system satellite simulators were successfully retrieved from the Starship's cargo hold. Developers had attempted this task multiple times before, but were unable to achieve it due to technical issues.
Additionally, this launch successfully restarted the Raptor engines and tested improvements aimed at increasing the reliability of the ship when returning to Earth.
Starship was launched from the Starbase space launch site in Texas at 7:30 PM local time on the U.S. East Coast. This launch did not plan for the booster to be controlledly returned to the launch site. After separation, it slowed down and gently entered the Gulf of Mexico.
