SpaceX Sets August 24 Target for Starship Flight 10 After Flight 9 Fuel Leak
SpaceX has traced the fiery end of Starship Flight 9 to a fuel leak and over-stressed booster, but the FAA has now cleared Flight 10 for launch on August 24. This mission will test the upgraded second-gen upper stage, new heat-shield tiles, and attempt Starlink simulator deployment — all while skipping the risky high-angle reentry that doomed its predecessor.
