The next Starship test launch, referred to as Flight 10, now has a target date after the “Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly” (RUD) during a static test of Ship 36.
This tenth test flight of the fully-integrated Starship vehicle will use the Ship 37 upper stage and Booster 16.
“The upcoming flight will continue to expand the operating envelope on the Super Heavy booster, with multiple landing burn tests planned,” SpaceX wrote of the upcoming venture.
“It will also target similar objectives as previous missions, including Starship’s first payload deployment and multiple reentry experiments geared towards returning the upper stage to the launch site for catch.”

🚀 Target Launch Date: August 26, 2025; 6:30 PM CDT
