SpaceX calls off critical Starship Flight 10 test launch due to 'issue with ground systems'


The company is now targeting Monday (Aug. 25) for the liftoff.

SpaceX planned to launch Starship Flight 10 from its Starbase site in South Texas this evening (Aug. 24), during an hourlong stretch that began at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT). NASA has tapped the vehicle to be the first crewed lunar lander for its Artemis program, and plans to use Starship to land astronauts on Earth's nearest neighbor as early as 2027. SpaceX plans to bring Super Heavy down in the Gulf of Mexico about 6.5 minutes after launch and guide Ship to a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Western Australia, about an hour after that.
