Overview
- SpaceX scrubbed Sunday’s Starship Flight 10 and announced a new window opening Monday at 6:30 p.m. local time, with the schedule described as dynamic.
- Some outlets reported the ground fault involved a liquid-oxygen leak in ground systems, a detail not confirmed by the company.
- The test plan includes an in-space Raptor relight, deployment of eight Starlink simulator payloads, and reentry experiments aimed at advancing eventual return-to-Starbase capability.
- SpaceX says the vehicle was modified for this attempt, including removing a significant number of heat-shield tiles and adding structural and thermal fixtures to stress-test vulnerable areas during reentry.
- Mexico’s navy issued a nautical advisory warning mariners of potential debris during the window, as environmental groups such as Conibio Global staged protests citing past wreckage along up to 40 kilometers of coastline.
