In Zahlen
SpaceX halted the thirteenth test flight of its Starship rocket at the last minute just as the engines were about to ignite. The launch, planned for the night transitioning from Thursday to Friday, was automatically aborted due to a malfunction in multiple engines.
Company CEO Elon Musk stated in a post on the X platform that some engines failed to fire, prompting the system to abort the launch for safety reasons. Musk noted that the rocket is currently being detanked and that they could potentially make another attempt within a few days.
The primary goal of these new test flights was to measure the flight performance of the latest Starship model, similar to the partially successful previous attempt in May. However, due to engine issues experienced during the May test as well, the rocket was unable to make a controlled landing and crashed into the Gulf of Mexico.
