SpaceX delayed its tenth Starship test flight, originally scheduled for 24 August, due to a malfunction in ground‑systems at its Starbase facility in Texas. The mission had already entered fueling stages and was intended to test upgrades to heat s...

SpaceX’s Starship Flight 10 delivered a major breakthrough. On August 26, Booster 16 and Ship 37 lifted off from Starbase and executed all primary objectives: ascent, hot-stage separation, booster boost-back and splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, o...

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 booster B1067 set a new reusability record by flying for the 30th time, launching 23 Starlink v2 mini satellites from Cape Canaveral and landing on the droneship A Shortfall of Gravitas. The milestone demonstrates the durability ...

Rocket Lab, joined by Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, inaugurated Launch Complex 3 (Pad 0‑D) at Wallops Island: the first launch facility designed for the Neutron reusable rocket. The site adds infrastructure for both launch and landing operatio...

Elon Musk released updated specifications showing Starship’s evolution from V1 (~15t payload in 2023/24) to a projected V4 capable of lifting over 200t to orbit. Booster thrust is set to climb from 7,100 tf to 10,000 tf, while ship propellant load...

Elon Musk confirmed speculation on X that Starship’s orange appearance during landing resulted from rapid oxidation of metallic test heat shield tiles, not surface coatings. He emphasized that the heatshield tiles “almost entirely stayed attached,...

The static fire on September 7 involved a re-used Super Heavy booster 15 (the second reuse of a Starship booster) ahead of Starship’s eleventh flight test; underscoring progress toward rapid, cost-efficient reusability. SpaceX confirmed via X that...

SpaceX is targeting October 6, 2025 for its next Starship test launch (Flight 11), according to a Local Notice to Mariners (LNM) filing revealing the proposed launch window. Earlier this week, the company completed a full-duration static fire test...

The European Space Agency signed a contract with Avio (Italy) for a 24‑month development to mature technologies for a reusable upper stage demonstrator (flight ground segment work) (~€40 million).Europe has long lagged in reusability; this is a c...
