S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
Investing.com-- SpaceX postponed the planned 10th test flight of its Starship rocket on Sunday after detecting a problem with ground systems, the company said.
“Standing down from today’s tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems,” SpaceX said on social media platform X.
The two-stage rocket, comprising a 232-foot Super Heavy booster and a 171-foot Starship upper stage, had been fueled and was standing by at the company’s Starbase facility in Texas, earlier announcements showed.
The launch was called off roughly 30 minutes before its scheduled 7:35 PM ET liftoff.
The delay follows a series of setbacks for the program this year, including an in-flight malfunction on its ninth mission and a ground test explosion in June.
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO Elon Musk’s SpaceX has not announced a new launch date.
