Starship's 10th test flight ended in disappointment

The 10th flight test of the Starship space rocket, developed by billionaire businessman Musk's company SpaceX, was canceled half an hour before takeoff.

The company announced that the decision was taken due to a technical fault detected in ground systems.

While preparations were underway for the launch from the Starbase facility in Texas, a problem arose during the fuel loading process, causing the countdown to be halted.

SpaceX released a statement saying, "Today's flight has been canceled. We need time to troubleshoot ground systems."

THE CONNECTION WAS DISCONNECTED

The Starship program, which has experienced a series of failed tests in recent months, was also in the news due to an explosion at the test stand in June.

The rocket, which successfully launched during Starship's 9th flight test in May, was nevertheless unable to place the eight artificial Starlink satellites it carried into orbit.

Communication with the rocket, which was experiencing altitude problems due to a fuel leak, was lost 30 minutes after launch.

Flight 8 was also cancelled 1 minute before takeoff due to engine problems.

This SpaceX flight is of great importance for both NASA 's Artemis Moon mission and future Mars plans.
