SpaceX successfully launched its eighth Starship test flight on March 6, 2025, from its Starbase facility in South Texas, aiming for advancements in reusable rocket technology. The mission achieved a significant milestone with the Super Heavy booster, known as Booster 15, returning successfully to the launch tower, marking its third successful recovery. However, the upper stage of the Starship, designated Ship 34, encountered difficulties during its ascent and disintegrated shortly after liftoff, resulting in the loss of the planned satellite simulator deployment. SpaceX acknowledged the upper stage failure and committed to thoroughly analyzing the data to enhance the vehicle’s reliability in future flights.
