SpaceX on Tuesday night launched the 10th test flight of its giant Super Heavy-Starship rocket, a milestone mission to demonstrate fixes and upgrades in the wake of three catastrophic failures earlier this year.

After a series of high-profile setbacks, SpaceX made significant progress in righting the ship for its Starship program, at least for one mission. The latest generation of the world's most powerful rocket and spacecraft combo completed its mission on Tuesday evening during its 10th test flight, achieving the company's primary objectives.

Starship's giant first-stage booster, named Super Heavy, has performed better as of late. For example, the booster successfully returned to Starbase for a dramatic catch by the launch tower's "chopstick" arms on both Flight 7 and Flight 8.
