The article, shortened and in plain language
Flight test 14 angling for 10 hours in space and a splashdown in the Pacific.
SpaceX is aiming for a September 22 launch of its Starship rocket on a 10-hour mission to deliver 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit.
The flight, set to launch at 1215 UTC if all goes to plan and the authorities give the green light, will be the first time Starship has gone into orbit, and the mission is planned to fly at an altitude of about 275 km. The mission aims for six orbits, followed by a deorbit burn using a single Raptor engine while.
The Super Heavy Booster will be ditched in the Gulf of Mexico, hopefully under better control this time. On flight 13, the booster made a "hard splashdown," as SpaceX delicately put it, after only eight of the planned 13 engines reignited.
For Artemis III, planned for 2027, SpaceX is expected to launch a Starship equipped with the docking apparatus planned for the lunar variant.
