SpaceX says they've made several upgrades to Starship's heatshield for test flight 14:
The upgrades include additional retention mechanisms added to tiles in areas deemed to be at highest risk of falling off during ascent, addressing recently discovered areas that offer flow paths behind tiles for plasma, and flying multiple areas with a curved tile design that has shown the ability to reduce heating in the gaps between tiles. Lastly, two tiles recovered from Ship 40 are planned to be reflown on Ship 41, marking the first tile reuse for Starship.
Looking forward to the launch!
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt· Sep 15, 2026SpaceX has just officially announced that they are targeting Tuesday, September 22nd at 8:15 AM ET for their 14th Starship test flight.
The upcoming flight is planned to be the first to send Starship into orbit around Earth, and will also mark the first time SplaceX plans to

SpaceX is currently targeting Starship Flight 14 for September 22 🚀
And this flight is a huge step beyond everything Starship has done so far
Flight 14 will attempt to:
• Reach stable Low Earth Orbit for the first time
• Deploy production Starlink V3 satellites into orbit
• Become Starship’s first revenue-generating mission
• Attempt the full orbital mission profile from launch → deployment → deorbit → reentry
• Push the V3 heat shield through another major test
• Continue proving Raptor 3, guidance, landing burns and vehicle control needed for rapid reuse
The hardware:
• Super Heavy Booster 21
• Starship Ship 41
• Third flight of the Starship V3 architecture
• 33 Raptor 3 engines on Super Heavy
• 6 Raptor engines on Starship
• Launching from Pad 2 at Starbase
After liftoff, Super Heavy will separate from Starship, perform its boostback and return for a controlled ocean splashdown
No tower catch is planned for Flight 14
The really big part happens with Ship 41
Instead of following another suborbital trajectory, Starship will continue into orbit
Then it will deploy production Starlink V3 satellites into stable LEO
That is a massive milestone by itself
Flight 13 proved Starship could deploy V3 satellites in space....Flight 14 is the first time Starship is expected to actually leave production V3 satellites in orbit
And these satellites are monsters
Each Starlink V3 is designed for:
• 1 Tbps of downlink capacity
• 160 Gbps of uplink capacity
• 2,048 beams in each direction
• Six 400 Gbps laser links
Eventually a single Starship will be able to carry up to 60 V3 satellites....adding around 60 Tbps of Starlink capacity in ONE launch
Around 20× the downlink capacity deployed by a Falcon 9 Starlink launch
After payload deployment, Ship 41 will perform its deorbit sequence and come back through the atmosphere
That means another major test of:
• The orbital heat shield
• Flap control through reentry
• Guidance during the return
• Raptor relight
• Landing flip and burn
Ship 41 will then return for a controlled ocean splashdown
And the next step is already lined up....Elon has confirmed Flight 15 is planned for the first attempt to bring Starship all the way back to the tower and catch it
But Flight 14 comes first
Reach orbit....Deploy real Starlink V3 satellites.....Come back through reentry
This is where things start getting very real

Starlink V3 constellation starts being deployed this month.
Ultimately, it will deliver more than 100 times the bandwidth of our current 11,000 satellite constellation.
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt· Sep 15, 2026Starship's upcoming 14th test flight will deliver 26 Starlink V3 satellites to orbit for the first time. Each Starlink V3 satellite will add 1 Tbps of capacity to the constellation, for a total of 26 Tbps of capacity added on this mission alone. That’s ~10x the capacity compared

Vice President @JDVance had a simple idea: Why don’t we have a Most Wanted Fraudsters list?
So we built one.
In just 3 months: 5 fraudsters captured, 4,000+ days on the run, nearly $2 BILLION in alleged fraud—across 3 continents.
The American people remain one of the FBI’s greatest partners.
You give us the information. We find them. We bring them to justice.

What’s crazy is that this bandwidth growth is well known but it’s likely impact is totally dismissed at the same time.
For context here is Starlinks historic bandwidth growth by generation. The V2 -> V3 inflection will 3-10x greater than the V1 -> V2 inflection was on this video.

Finally!!! A proper orbital attempt! Important note is that they won't be targeting orbit at SECO. They will only attempt an orbital circularization burn if all systems are go and it's considered safe. Nice and conservative approach!
