Starship Starship Orbital Flight 1 (Starship Flight 14)

Ship 41 underwent two cryogenic proof tests on June 30, 2026. Booster 21 also underwent its own cryogenic proof tests from July 18-20, 2026. The engines' static firing test campaign started on August 19, 2026. It was completed with a full duration static fire of all 33 engines of Booster 21 on August 28, 2026. After 13 suborbital test flights, this might be the first orbital flight of Starship (previously code-named BFR and ITS). According to Elon Musk, this would also be the first catch of a Ship.

A SpaceX Starship rocket will launch the Starship Orbital Flight 1 (Starship Flight 14) mission. The launch date is currently targeted for September, 2026 (UTC).
