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 gentle splashdowns, one in the Gulf of Mexico and second in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers characterised the sea touchdowns as the softest to date.
A separate engine glitch forced a prior abort on July 24.
The commercial company also deployed new-generation Starlink satellites as cargo for the trial flight.
