Starship Flight 13 Aborted Seconds Before Liftoff

SpaceX aborted Starship’s 13th test flight less than a second before liftoff after several Super Heavy booster engines failed to start, automatically triggering the launch safety system.


Elon Musk said two Raptor engines would be removed and replaced, with another launch attempt expected early the following week. The flight was intended to carry 20 Starlink V3 satellites and test additional technologies required for Starship’s reusable architecture.
