SpaceX is still targeting Starship Flight 14 for Monday, Sept. 28, during a 75-minute window that opens at 8:15 a.m. EDT (7:15 a.m. CT) from Pad 2 at Starbase in South Texas, Space.com reported Sunday. If successful, the fully stacked vehicle — about 407 feet tall — would reach orbit for the first time and deploy 26 Starlink Version 3 internet satellites on a roughly 10-hour mission, with the Ship splashdown targeted in the Pacific off Chile and the Super Heavy booster splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico about seven minutes after liftoff. Prior Starship flights were suborbital; SpaceX coverage is set to begin about 30 minutes before liftoff.
