SpaceX aims Monday for Starship Flight 14 — first orbital try from Starbase, Texas
SpaceX is targeting Starship Flight 14 no earlier than 8:15 a.m. EDT (7:15 a.m. CT) Monday, Sept. 28, from Pad 2 at Starbase in South Texas, with a 75-minute window, Space.com and CNN reported Sunday. If successful, the more-than-400-foot Starship would reach orbit for the first time and deploy 26 operational Starlink V3 satellites — a roughly 10-hour mission with the Super Heavy booster aiming for a Gulf of Mexico splashdown and the Ship for a Pacific landing off Chile, Space.com reported. SpaceX said prior flights used passively safe suborbital paths; Flight 14 would begin the orbital phase of development toward a fully reusable system.
