SpaceX is targeting Thursday, July 23, for another attempt to launch its Starship rocket, the company said in a statement on Sunday.

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk posted on X ‌later on Sunday that the next Starship ​launch would occur on Friday, contradicting the earlier statement from his company. He did ⁠not say whether the original Thursday date was wrong.

On ​July 16, SpaceX's Starship rocket triggered a last-second abort ⁠before liftoff for its 13th flight test from Texas, which erased about $100 billion from the company's market value.

SpaceX said it ‌has modified Starship's propulsion system to address the ​engine issue experienced ‌on the previous flight.

A launch delay for the $15 billion rocket ‌development program better known for dramatic engineering feats and explosive testing failures is not uncommon. On Friday, SpaceX said ⁠it would attempt the ‌launch on July ⁠20.

The company has launched 12 Starship test flights since 2023. On ⁠its ⁠13th flight test, Starship will carry 20 Starlink satellites to demonstrate its ‌satellite-dispensing system and the Starlink network's laser communication links, but those satellites will follow the ship's suborbital trajectory and ‌burn up in ​Earth's atmosphere soon ‌after deployment.

In its prospectus, SpaceX said that it aims to launch the first Starlink satellites ​to orbit on Starship by year's end, followed by routine launches.
