The Starship 36 suffered “catastrophic failure and exploded” at the Starbase launch facility shortly after 11:00 pm (0400 GMT Thursday), a Facebook post by the Cameron County authorities said.
“A safety clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and all personnel are safe and accounted for,“ Space X added on social media.
Starbase on the south Texas coast, near the border with Mexico, is the headquarters for Musk’s space project.
The latest setback follows an explosion of a prototype Starship over the Indian Ocean in late May.
The previous two outings also ended poorly, with the upper stage disintegrating over the Caribbean.
