SpaceX propelled Starship Flight 13 on July 25 2026 from Boca Chica, Texas.
The rocket’s upper stage and booster executed a clean separation during ascent.
Both stages later achieved soft splashdowns, first 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 private firm further deployed advanced Starlink satellites as cargo for the trial flight.
