SpaceX launched Starship Flight 13 on July 25 2026 from Boca Chica, Texas.
The rocket’s upper stage and booster executed a smooth separation during ascent.
Both stages later achieved gentle splashdowns, first in the Gulf of Mexico and the other in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers described the water landings as the most gentle ever.
A different engine glitch forced a prior abort on July 24.
The commercial company also deployed next‑gen Starlink satellites as cargo for the test mission.
