[SpaceX plans to make its first attempt to put a Starship spacecraft into Earth orbit on Monday] September 28th, SpaceX plans to conduct the 14th test flight of Starship on Monday (September 28) local time, making its first attempt to put a Starship spacecraft into Earth orbit and deploy 26 new-generation Starlink V3 satellites. The spacecraft is expected to fly at an altitude of about 275 kilometers for nearly 10 hours, circle the earth about 6 times, and finally splash down in the Pacific Ocean west of Chile. If successful, this will be a key transition for Starship from the experimental stage to the operational stage, and may also become a "revenue-generating flight" for SpaceX. The V3 satellite will significantly increase the overall capacity of the Starlink network.
