Key FactsSpaceX Prepares for Next Starship Launch Attempt

Jul 17, 2026 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: reuters.com

The recent Starship launch was aborted just before liftoff after four of the 33 booster engines failed to ignite.

SpaceX intends to replace two Raptor engines on the booster to ensure a successful upcoming flight.

The 13th test flight will carry 20 Starlink satellites that will burn up on a suborbital trajectory.

Despite the setback and a 6% stock decline, Starship remains a critical element of SpaceX’s multi-decade infrastructure plans.

Some of the engines didn't start.
— Elon Musk wrote on X that the abort was triggered because 'some of the engines didn't start.'
