• Abort occurred due to multiple Raptor engines not firing.
• Elon Musk confirmed fuel drain and engine replacement; next attempt in a few days.
• Mission was to deploy 20 Starlink v3 satellites, which would burn up.
• First Starship test since SpaceX IPO; stock price dropped below IPO price.

"SpaceX aborted the 13th Starship launch attempt early on July 17, 2026, because several Raptor engines failed to ignite. CEO Elon Musk stated the fuel would be drained and engines replaced, with next attempt possibly early next week. The mission was to deploy Starlink v3 satellites. The abort occurred after FAA cleared previous issues, and SpaceX's stock price had fallen below IPO price."
