SpaceX Starship Flight 10 — Launch Tonight (Aug 25, 2025)
SpaceX is scheduled to attempt the 10th test flight of its massive Starship vehicle tonight from its Texas launch site. The launch window opens at 7:30 PM ET (6:30 PM CT), with the webcast beginning approximately 30 minutes prior.
Mission overview
- Payload: 8 dummy Starlink satellites
- Duration: ~1 hour
- End: Expected splashdown in the Indian Ocean (no return-to-launch-site this flight)
- Objective: Flight test plus experiments to advance upper-stage return capabilities
Background
The launch originally scheduled for Sunday, Aug 24, was scrubbed to allow troubleshooting of a ground-systems issue. This follows several earlier failures this year (Flights 7–9) and a June on-pad explosion during static-fire preparations. SpaceX says teams are ready to try again.
