SpaceX successfully caught its Super Heavy booster for a second time during the Starship's seventh test flight, but lost contact with the upper stage afterwards.
Although the booster catch was successful, SpaceX confirmed losing telemetry data and the ship was lost shortly after it began ascending to orbit.
The company has ambitious plans for Starship, testing new heat tiles and utilizing improved radar sensors on the launch tower for better recovery accuracy.
The latest rocket flight was notable for being an upgraded test compared to earlier attempts, showcasing the ongoing progress SpaceX is making with the Starship system.
