SpaceX targets September 22 for Starship test, eyes first orbital flight
Starship's 14th test flight would mark a major leap in the rocket's development over its last test in July
SpaceX said on Tuesday it was preparing to launch its next Starship flight test as soon as September 22, a mission expected to send the vehicle into orbit for the first time and deploy Starlink V3 satellites.
Starship's 14th test flight would mark a major leap in the rocket's development over its last test in July, which flew a suborbital trajectory that took the spacecraft into space before returning it to Earth without completing an orbit.
