  8. SpaceX Starship Reaches Orbit on Flight 14

    SpaceX successfully launched its Starship megarocket on Flight 14 from Starbase in Texas, achieving the vehicle's first-ever orbit around Earth. The mission carried 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites, which the team successfully deployed. Although the roughly 10-hour test flight originally aimed for six orbits and a soft landing in the Northern Pacific Ocean, the team cut the flight short after the upper stage reached orbit. Mission controllers also tested reentry during the shortened mission. The Federal Aviation Administration had cleared the flight under a granted license.

    Why it matters

    This flight marks a critical milestone for Elon Musk's fully reusable rocket, which is designed to boost global satellite internet capacity and support future Moon and Mars missions. SpaceX completed a wet dress rehearsal at the South Texas launch site to clear the final preflight hurdle before liftoff. The event represents the first time a SpaceX Starship spacecraft entered low-Earth orbit.

    What is confirmed

    • SpaceX launched Starship Flight 14 on Monday from Starbase, Texas, achieving the vehicle's first-ever orbit.
    • The mission carried and successfully deployed 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites.
    • The team cut the flight short after reaching orbit, altering the original plan for a nearly 10-hour mission with six orbits.
    • The Federal Aviation Administration cleared the launch with a granted license.
