SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13 on July 25 2026 from Boca Chica, Texas.
The rocket’s upper stage and booster executed a precise separation during ascent.
Both stages later achieved gentle splashdowns, first in the Gulf of Mexico and second in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers called the water landings as the softest to date.
A different propulsion fault forced a prior abort on July 24.
The private firm also deployed new-generation Starlink satellites as payload for the trial flight.
