SpaceX Reschedules 13th Starship Test Flight Following Engine Issue
SpaceX plans to launch its 13th Starship test flight carrying 20 Starlink satellites after a last-second abort during the previous attempt in mid-July. The launch, initially targeted for July 20 or 23, has been postponed to July 24 as the company addresses engine ignition issues by modifying the propulsion system. This suborbital test aims to demonstrate satellite deployment and laser communication, with SpaceX targeting routine orbital Starship launches by the end of the year.
