SpaceX successfully launched 24 Starlink internet satellites into low Earth orbit on August 14, 2025, from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Following this, preparations for the 10th test flight of the Starship rocket are underway, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) closing its investigation into the Flight 9 mishap, allowing regulatory clearance for Flight 10. SpaceX has officially scheduled the Starship Flight 10 launch for August 24, 2025, with the launch window opening at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time (6:30 p.m. Central Time). The flight aims to conduct several booster flight experiments to gather real-world performance data for future missions. Meanwhile, SpaceX is completing pre-launch preparations at Starbase Pad 1 in Texas, including removing testing equipment and restoring the pad to launch configuration. Additional infrastructure work is ongoing, such as concrete pouring into the flame trench at Launch Complex 39A in Florida and construction of protective steel cladding at Starbase Pad 2 to shield ground support equipment from booster exhaust during liftoff. Concurrently, SpaceX is progressing with the stacking of the next-generation Starship 39. The cryogenic fueling pipe assembly used for static fire testing of Starship 37 has been removed from Pad 1 and stored for reuse in upcoming static fire tests for Starship 38 after Flight 10.
