Starship Prototype Explodes During Test Flight
January 17, 2025, 06:17 AM
The American company SpaceX, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, reported that the Starship prototype exploded during its seventh test flight.
Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent burn. Teams will continue to review data from today's flight test to better understand root cause. With a test like this, success comes from what we learn, and today’s flight will help us improve Starship’s reliability.
It was reported that communication with the second stage was lost 8.5 minutes into the flight. Meanwhile, the reusable Super Heavy booster successfully returned to Earth thanks to the advanced launch tower.
A released video shows how the flight proceeded, as well as footage of the ship's debris falling.
