SpaceX Completes 11th Test Flight for Starship Rocket
SpaceX has successfully completed its 11th test flight of the Starship rocket, which launched from the southern tip of Texas and ended with a splashdown in the Indian Ocean.
During the hour-long flight, the Starship rocket deployed eight mock Starlink satellites, a key test that was repeated from its previous flight, and was met with cheers from mission control.
This test flight is the final one for this Starship rocket, as SpaceX plans to debut a new, scaled-up prototype for its next mission.
The test flights are crucial for SpaceX to identify and resolve potential issues that may arise in future missions, including NASA's Artemis program to land astronauts on the moon.
