Starship Explodes During Test: Rocket Lost Control
SpaceX's Starship failed ahead of its tenth flight test. The first stage exploded, the second stage suffered a fuel leak, and the vehicle disintegrated during atmospheric reentry.
Another test launch of the super-heavy Starship rocket developed by SpaceX ended in failure. According to CNBC, the incident occurred during preparations for the tenth flight test. After stage separation, the first booster exploded, causing a fuel leak on the second stage.
U.S. media report that the second stage continued its flight but soon went out of control. As it entered the dense layers of the atmosphere, the vehicle began to break apart and eventually exploded.
SpaceX engineers confirmed the loss of the rocket and stated that the incident would help improve engineering solutions and control systems. The company is currently conducting an internal investigation into the causes of the explosion and fuel leak.
Despite the failure, SpaceX leadership insists that frequent testing is essential to accelerate progress in developing a reusable launch vehicle. Starship remains a cornerstone of the company's ambitions to build infrastructure for lunar and Martian missions.
Starship is being developed as the most powerful rocket in human history, capable of delivering up to 150 tons of payload into orbit and being reused. The project is being carried out with strong support from NASA under the Artemis program.
