SpaceX postponed its Starship test flight from its Starbase facility in Texas on March 3 due to issues with the Super Heavy booster.

Although the FAA had approved the launch on February 26, technical problems caused multiple holds during the countdown.

The launch was scrubbed after engineers couldn’t resolve the issues in time.

The mission aims to test the Super Heavy booster and Starship upper stage, including engine relight, Starlink deployment, and propulsive splashdown, Space Flight Now has reported.

If conditions allow, SpaceX will attempt to catch the booster using the ‘Mechazilla’ tower.

A new launch date has not been set.
