Starship’s 13th Test Flight Scrubbed | Orlando News
Description
SpaceX is back for another high-stakes Starship test, the 13th attempt, after a last-minute scrub halted ignition of 33 Raptor engines—triggering an automatic abort. This time, the goal is ambitious: full booster flight sequence including boostback and offshore landing in the Gulf, no pad catch. Engineers are diving into data to fix engine issues, as the mission also aims to deploy 20 real Starlink satellites, test new propulsion tweaks, and evaluate upgraded heat shields and sensors. All while inching closer to NASA’s Artemis goals—human lunar missions and beyond—with the upper stage set for an Indian Ocean splashdown. Every launch, even the imperfect ones, fuels their path to reusable spaceflight.
