SpaceX’s Starship’s 14th flight is scheduled for its first orbital mission, which will include six orbits and the launch of 26 (next generation) Starlink V3 satellites. Additionally, the journey will put to the test better booster systems, heat shield technology and tile reuse.
SpaceX is getting ready to launch its 14th Starship rocket on Monday, September 28. The launch window is expected to open at 7.15 am CT (8:15 a.m. ET) and last for 75 minutes, marking a major milestone in the development of a fully reusable spacecraft.
SpaceX will offer a live stream for you. Real time updates will also be available on X and the broadcast will be streamed live on SpaceX’s official website starting approximately 30 minutes before takeoff, according to reports. The maiden orbital mission of Starship is anticipated to be Flight 14. Prior to a scheduled splashdown in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile, the next expedition is expected to reach a height of about 275 km, complete around six orbits and last almost 10 hours.

After staging, Starship’s upper stage will move into orbit to complete a major milestone that is deploying 26 next generation Starlink V3 satellites, a payload anticipated to increase constellation capacity by 26 Tbps, which is roughly ten times that of a regular Falcon 9 launch, as per the reports. The launch window for SpaceX’s Starship Flight 14 opens in India at 05:45 pm IST on Monday, September 28, 2026.
After the satellite has been deployed, the vehicle will perform an in-space deorbit burn with a single Raptor engine, attempting a controlled re-entry and a final splashdown in the Pacific Ocean. The Super Heavy booster from SpaceX is scheduled to test important flight segments, such as its last landing burn before a planned offshore splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as its launch and stage separation.
