By Isha
SpaceX successfully launched its 11th Starship test flight from Starbase, Texas. The mission included deploying mock Starlink satellites, testing engine relighting in space, and evaluating new heat shield tiles during reentry. The Super Heavy booster executed a soft water landing in the Gulf of Mexico before self-destructing. This flight paves the way for an upgraded Starship prototype aimed at deep-space missions, including lunar and Martian exploration.
