SpaceX is in the final moments of its launch countdown for Starship Flight 14, according to Space. The flight is scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026, and the company is preparing to send the vehicle to orbit for the first time.
Multiple outlets are covering the attempt live. CNN describes the flight as an unprecedented test, while MarketWatch reports that the launch is imminent. CNBC says SpaceX is preparing to send Starship to orbit for the first time.
According to Spaceflight Now, the mission is also set to carry the first Starlink V3 satellites to orbit aboard Starship. That would make the flight a combined test of the vehicle and a first operational deployment of the next-generation satellite design.
The launch window and exact timing were not detailed in the available reporting. SpaceX has not confirmed a specific liftoff time in the material reviewed here, and no outcome has been reported.
What to watch next: whether Starship reaches orbit and whether the Starlink V3 payload is deployed as planned.
