SpaceX Starship performs third test launch

After two previous unsuccessful attempts, the company has finally made a successful start.

Here's What We Know

During the initial part of the launch, the Starship separated from the Super Heavy Booster and the Raptor second stage engines were launched. However, during re-entry, problems arose and the rocket broke apart before the expected landing. Detailed circumstances have not yet been investigated.

SpaceX used this launch to test new technologies, such as the re-launch of the Raptor engine in space and controlled re-entry. The mission was also designed to test new systems to help ensure future flight safety.
