SpaceX Is Days Away from Starship's 13th Test Flight — With New Experiments on Board
Ars Technica - All content·Wednesday, 15 July 2026
SpaceX is preparing for the 13th test flight of its Starship rocket, set for later this week. This flight will push Starship under higher pressure than previous tests and will also trial a new batch of Starlink satellites in orbit. Starship is the most powerful rocket ever built and is central to NASA's plans to return humans to the Moon.
Why It Matters
Starship's development directly shapes the future of satellite internet, space exploration, and eventually the cost of launching anything — including Indian satellites — into space. Each successful test brings commercial and deep-space missions closer to reality.
