SpaceX propelled Starship Flight 13 on July 25 2026 from Boca Chica, Texas.
The rocket’s upper stage and booster completed a smooth separation during ascent.
Both stages later achieved soft splashdowns, first in the Gulf of Mexico and the other in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers called the sea touchdowns as the least jarring yet.
A different rocket engine issue forced a prior abort on July 24.
The private firm also deployed next‑gen Starlink satellites as payload for the experimental run.
