The company ticked off a few more boxes on the second Starship V3 flight, but appears to have had another issue re-lighting the booster's rocket engines.

The launch comes just over two months since the 12th test flight that was the first for the new Version 3 of the rocket. That mission suffered an uncontrolled landing of its booster in the Gulf that ultimately led to the rocket’s grounding by the Federal Aviation Administration, which was lifted earlier this month.

SpaceX marked another important milestone in the development of its next-generation launch system on Saturday as Starship completed its thirteenth integrated test flight, successfully reaching key mission objectives despite falling short of a flawless booster recovery.

Following an aborted launch attempt last week in which several engines failed to ignite at liftoff, SpaceX’s Starship megarocket is back on the launchpad in Starbase, Texas. A 90-minute launch window opens at 6:45 p.

SpaceX launched its advanced V3 Starlink satellites via Starship but faced another setback as its Super Heavy booster failed during a simulated landing in the Gulf of Mexico.
