SpaceX Logs Thirteenth Starship Launch, First Starlink V3 Test
MoffettNathanson analysts don’t expect the rocket to reach reusability this year
WASHINGTON, July 27, 2026 – SpaceX successfully launched its massive Starship rocket for the thirteenth time Friday, testing 20 next-generation broadband satellites in the process.
The rocket splashed down intact in the Indian Ocean. Its booster landed harder than expected in the Gulf of Mexico after some engines failed to reignite.
