Elon Musk’s SpaceX has launched the upgraded version of the Starship spacecraft on its maiden test flight from the Starbase launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, according to a live broadcast of the event.
SpaceX earlier on Friday canceled the first test launch of the upgraded Starship.
Musk later said on X that the scrub was not due to a technical issue with the vehicle, explaining that a hydraulic pin securing the launch tower arm had not been removed. He added that the issue should be resolved quickly.
