During the July 16 attempt, four of the Super Heavy boosters 33 Raptor engines failed to ignite, triggering the vehicles automated safety system to halt the countdown at T-0.\n\nElon Musk said engineers would remove and replace two of the malfunctioning Raptor engines before trying again, calling it necessary \"to be confident of a good flight.\" If Mondays launch proceeds, Starship will carry 20 Starlink V3 satellites — the first operational payload the rocket has ever attempted to deploy — with six of them fitted with external cameras to photograph the ships heat shield during flight, a self-inspection method never tried before.\n\nThe flight will also attempt a Raptor engine relight in space, a maneuver postponed on the previous test after ascent engine failures. A successful relight and orbital demonstration would mark a key step toward the fully reusable rocket NASA is counting on for its Artemis III Moon landing."}}
