SpaceX is preparing Starship Flight 14 for a no-earlier-than September 28 launch window, marking the vehicle's first attempt at a full orbital trajectory after 13 suborbital tests. The mission profile includes orbital insertion at roughly 275 km, deployment of 26 operational Starlink V3 satellites—the first revenue-generating payload for the program—followed by a deorbit burn and controlled Pacific splashdown. Booster 21 incorporates hardware and software upgrades to address Flight 13 landing-burn issues, while Ship 41 features heat-shield refinements derived from prior flight data. The FAA license remains the key near-term gate, with successful static-fire campaigns on both stages already complete. A positive outcome would advance rapid-reuse goals and Starlink constellation expansion.

If SpaceX attempts an ocean splashdown of the Starship upper stage instead of attempting to catch it using the Orbital Launch Tower’s chopsticks, this market will resolve to “No.”
A successful catch is defined as the chopsticks capturing and supporting the Starship upper stage without it falling to the ground or causing catastrophic damage during the landing process.
This market pertains to the 14th Starship launch. If the rocket lifts off the pad, it will be considered the 14th Starship launch, and this market will resolve based on it. If the rocket does not lift off the pad, it will not be considered the 14th launch, and this market will stay open until the 14th launch has occurred. If the 14th launch has not occurred by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.
