When next launch? (Flight 10) NET Aug 4th, (per FCC filing), NET mid August, per Elon.
When previous launch? (Flight 9) Starship flight 9 launched at about 23:36:29 UTC May 27.
What was the result? Ship reached a suborbital path with a 189 km apogee. It lost attitude control during coast and tumbled during reentry, with loss of signal at about 59 km altitude." (Jonathan McDowell) - Booster experiences rapid unscheduled disassembly immediately after landing burn startup. (Golden, SpaceX 1, SpaceX 2)
