SpaceX Starship 36 Explodes During Flight 10 Testing at Starbase

Jun 19, 2025

While preparing for a 6-engine static fire test as part of its pre-flight test campaign, SpaceX's Ship 36 experienced an anomaly, resulting in destruction of the vehicle and significant damage to the Massey's rocket test site in Starbase, TX. The test site is approximately 5 miles away from the Starship production facility, and roughly 9 miles from the Brownsville city limits.

Starship launch and Super Heavy landing, 26 August 2025

Aug 27, 2025

A Super Heavy rocket booster launched a Starship upper stage for SpaceX’s tenth flight test of a fully integrated Starship, from Starbase, Texas, on 26 August 2025, at 23:30 UTC (18:30 CDT). According to SpaceX, the Starship upper stage will repeat its suborbital trajectory and target objectives not reached on the previous three flight tests, including the deployment of eight Starlink simulators. The Super Heavy booster will attempt several flight experiments “while on a trajectory to an offshore landing point in the Gulf of America and will not return to the launch site for catch”.

Starship launch and Super Heavy landing, 13 October 2025

Oct 14, 2025

A Super Heavy rocket booster launched a Starship upper stage for SpaceX’s eleventh flight test of a fully integrated Starship, from Starbase, Texas, on 13 October 2025, at 23:23 UTC (18:23 CDT). According to SpaceX, the Starship upper stage will repeat its suborbital trajectory and target objectives not reached on the previous three flight tests, including the deployment of eight Starlink simulators. The Super Heavy booster previously flew on Flight 8, has 24 flight-proven Raptor engines, and its primary test objective was demonstrating a unique landing burn engine configuration on a trajectory to an offshore landing point. The Starship upper stage will target multiple in-space objectives, including the deployment of eight Starlink simulators on a suborbital trajectory.
