The ninth flight test of SpaceX's Starship megarocket is scheduled for later today, with an hour-long launch window opening at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT). A livestream of Starship Flight Test 9 will be available on the Space.com homepage and YouTube channel, as well as on SpaceX's Flight 9 mission page, the @SpaceX X account and X TV app.

Only a matter of hours ago, SpaceX undertook its ninth Starship test flight from its Texas Starbase, however, the flight ended in relative disappoint for the team of rocket scientists. The rocket ran into trouble when a small fuel leak caused the spacecraft to start spinning uncontrollably after the ship had made orbit.

The spacecraft began spinning as it skimmed space toward an entry in the Indian Ocean. The first-stage booster ended up in the Gulf of Mexico in pieces.

A brand-new SpaceX rocket just earned its wings. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Florida's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Tuesday (May 20) at 11:19 p.m. EDT (0319 GMT on May 21), carrying 23 of the company's Starlink broadband satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO).
