SpaceX has completed a test flight of its Starship megarocket, followed by a successful soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean an hour after launch. The flight was the rocket's 13th test flight.
What happened during the launch?
SpaceX said the launch followed an aborted attempt last week that was caused by engine failure at liftoff. The company, owned by Elon Musk, said the latest test flight was successful.
Why is this flight notable?
This was the second flight for this version of Starship, called V3, and its first flight as a publicly traded company.
