Watch Live as Spacex tries to prove that the spacecraft is not a totally flipping with flight 10

Spacex is preparing for the tenth test of Megarock after a series of failures that caused Starship’s ability to fly to Mars in 2026.

The tournament is scheduled to take place to lift On Sunday, August 24, during the launch window, which opens at 7:30 pm Each time. Spacex recently concluded investigations on the previous test flight, which occurred on May 27 and ended with the collapse of the car while re -entering. This was the third trip in 2025 and the most recent in a series of failures. For flight 10, Spacex merged operating devices and changes into its missile in an attempt to increase its reliability, according to the company.

The StarsHip test flight will be broadcast live on Spacex WebsiteAs well as x for the company account. You can also adjust live feeding below.

The Sunday test trip will try similar important goals that were not achieved during previous trips due to various abnormal cases. For the fourth time in a row, SpaceX will try to test the spread of useful load. For this test, the missile will publish 10 STARLONK simulation devices, each of which is similar to size and weight with the company The satellite is from the next generation. Instead of staying in orbit, these stellar links are designed to follow a path under rotation, and it is expected to burn during re -entry.

During the upcoming test trip, Spacex will not try to capture a heavy missile supporter in Mount Etal. Instead, the supporter will go to a path to the sea landing point in the Gulf of Mexico to test the burning burning. During landing, one of the three supporters engines will be closed to test the backup engine capacity to seize it. The supporter will then use two central motors to the final burning of the landing, and it hovers briefly over the ocean before it comes to the Gulf of Mexico.

The company wrote that Spacex has removed several tiles of the heat shield to “the weaknesses of testing stress via the car during re -entering.” Tiles were removed from weak areas and hot spots that were observed during the sixth air test in Starship.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) gave Spacex the green light for the next “Sitra” trip after the investigation of flight 9. The investigation has followed an accident from the previous flight to structural issues that led to “mixing of methane, liquid oxygen and subsequent ignition”, written in A in A. statement. To avoid similar problems during the upcoming flights, Spacex said it would reduce the angle of the descent of the supporter to reduce the dynamic forces and prevent another failure.

The company also addressed the explosion that occurred on June 18 at the Spacex Massey facility near Starbase. The explosion has exterminated the initial model of the championship that was supposed to fly on Journey 10. Spacex follows the anomalies to damage the composite composite pressure (COPV), which stores nitrogen in the useful bay in the stars. The company wrote: “To address this problem, COPVS will work on upcoming flights with reduced pressure with additional inspections and proof tests that were added before loading the interactive fans on a vehicle.”

Starship had a rough long time since the beginning of the year. The seventh test flight of the missile in January It ended with the explosion of the upper stage in the spacecraft Almost eight and a half minutes after the launch. The upper stage in Starsp I met a similar fate during the eighth test in March When six of the nine Raptor engines died while burning ascending. During the latest experimental trip at Starship in May, the missile suffered a large number of failures. Although the car reached its planned speed, the driver’s leakage led to the loss of control, and Separate While re -entering after failing to achieve its mission goals.

Spacex said it had made several changes to its missile to avoid another failure during flight 10 test, in the hope that Starship will finally break the long loss chain.
