Starship flight test 10 was the tenth flight test of a SpaceX Starship launch system, using Booster 16 and Ship 37.
Originally scheduled for no earlier than June 29, 2025, the launch was postponed following the loss of Ship 36, which was destroyed in an explosion during propellant loading for a static fire test in mid-June 2025.
The first launch attempt was scrubbed due to an oxidizer line leak on the ground systems, while the second was called off due to the presence of anvil clouds near the launch site. A third, successful launch attempt occurred on August 26, 2025, at 23:30 UTC (6:30 pm CDT).
