SpaceX is targeting Starship Flight 14 NET Monday, September 28, 2026 at 7:15 a.m. CT (12:15 UTC). This will be the FIRST orbital launch attempt of Starship with Ship 41 and Booster 21, carrying the first operational batch of 26 Starlink V3 satellites on a roughly 10-hour mission of about six orbits at around 275 km before a Pacific Ocean splashdown. Booster 21 will splash down in the Gulf after boostback, making this a major step from prior suborbital tests toward sustained orbit, payload ops, and eventual full reuse.

Perhaps one of the strangest and most obvious changes to SpaceX’s latest Starship, or Version 3, is the fact that the Super Heavy booster now only has 3 grid fins instead of 4. This makes the rocket look asymmetrical and honestly just kind of weird. But as strange as it looks, the reason they did this is actually quite genius. All music is original!
