SpaceX took off 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 smooth splashdowns, first in the Gulf of Mexico and the other in the Indian Ocean.
Engineers described the water landings as the most gentle ever.
A earlier rocket engine issue forced a prior abort on July 24.
The commercial company further deployed advanced Starlink satellites as cargo for the experimental run.
