SpaceX Loses Contact with Starship During Test Flight

SpaceX completed the eighth test flight of its Starship rocket, successfully launching it from Texas and recovering the Super Heavy booster. However, communication with the rocket was lost during ascent.

The rocket, carrying four Starlink satellites, lifted off as planned, but SpaceX later confirmed the loss of contact, activating emergency protocols. The company said it will analyze flight data to determine the cause, emphasizing that each test helps improve Starship’s reliability.

The previous test ended with the rocket breaking apart mid-air, and this mission aimed to refine its performance and address technical issues.
