SpaceX has completed the 10th test flight of its Starship rocket, marking the first successful payload mission for the world’s most powerful launch vehicle. The rocket carried eight Starlink satellite mockups into orbit, demonstrating progress after a string of earlier failures. The Super Heavy booster, serving as the first stage, separated as planned and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, the upper stage reentered over the Indian Ocean, where it broke apart after impact. Despite the explosive ending, the mission is considered a milestone, as it proved Starship can carry a payload into orbit. Earlier in 2025, several test flights ended unsuccessfully, including three failed landings and a June launch that exploded on the pad.
