Summary

SpaceX launched its Starship rocket on its 14th test flight on September 28, 2026, from Starbase, Texas, achieving the vehicle's first orbital flight. The mission successfully deployed 26 Starlink V3 internet satellites into orbit approximately 10 minutes after reaching orbital altitude of about 275 kilometers. The upper stage experienced an unexplained engine shutdown that cut the mission short, but the vehicle still achieved orbit and completed satellite deployment before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile. The Super Heavy booster experienced several engine shutdowns during ascent but made a controlled splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico. SpaceX characterized the mission as a success, marking the first time Starship left working payloads in orbit and the first orbital flight to generate revenue for the company. The mission lasted approximately 10 hours and completed about six orbits of Earth.
