Aug. 25 (UPI) -- SpaceX's Starship is scheduled to launch at 7:30 p.m. EDT Monday after nine other test flights.
"After completing the investigations into the loss of Starship on its ninth flight test and the Ship 36 static fire anomaly, hardware and operational changes have been made to increase reliability," SpaceX said in a statement.
The launch was supposed to happen Sunday night in Boca Chica, Texas, but the flight was scrubbed. It was to be the fourth launch of the year of Starship, the largest rocket on Earth and the successor to SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
"Standing down from today's 10th flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," the company said in a post on X.
