SpaceX took off 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, one in the Gulf of Mexico and the other in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers described the sea touchdowns as the softest to date.
A separate rocket engine issue forced a earlier abort on July 24.
The commercial company additionally deployed next‑gen Starlink satellites as payload for the trial flight.
