SpaceX is looking to Monday, July 20, at the earliest for launching the Starship Flight 13 mission after a post-ignition abort during its first launch attempt. The mission was on track for liftoff right about the opening of a 90-minute window when an issue connected to the Raptor engines on the Super Heavy booster forced a scrub of the mission.

Spaceflight Now takes look at the moment, the aftermath, and what comes next on the road to the second launch attempt.
