How can I watch Starship Flight 14 — its first real orbital test?
SpaceX is targeting September 28 at about 8:15 a.m. EDT for Starship’s first sustained orbital attempt. Check SpaceX on launch morning because flight-test windows often move.
SpaceX is targeting Monday, September 28, for Flight 14, with a 75-minute launch window opening around 8:15 a.m. EDT, pending regulatory approval. The first sustained orbital attempt is planned to make roughly six trips around Earth, deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites, and end in a Pacific splashdown.
Watch through SpaceX’s official webcast links and social channels. Earlier flights followed suborbital paths; staying up for hours makes the ship endure much longer reentry heating, a key test before Starship can carry cargo or crews to the Moon or Mars. Launch windows move often, so confirm the time with SpaceX that morning.
