SpaceX's eighth test of its Starship ended in failure when the upper stage, after a promising launch, lost multiple engines and exploded over the Caribbean. The flight saw the successful capture of the Super Heavy booster by the tower's mechanical arms and aimed to deploy dummy satellites before a splashdown. Previously, a similar incident occurred due to propellant leaks, prompting SpaceX to implement safety modifications. After the explosion, SpaceX indicated there was a significant failure in the aft section of the Starship, and data analysis is underway to discern the specific reasons for the failure.
SpaceX's eighth Starship test flight ended again in an explosion, despite earlier improvements, indicating ongoing challenges in achieving successful launches.
The upper stage of the Starship lost multiple Raptor engines eight minutes into flight, leading to its explosion over the Caribbean.
