SpaceX is advancing Starship launch infrastructure at Kennedy Space Center’s LC-39A and Cape Canaveral’s SLC-37, with the Gigabay vehicle processing facility nearing completion and launch mounts under active construction as of September 2026. Recent statements from SpaceX leadership confirm the final Falcon 9 Starlink missions from Florida have ended, shifting all future East Coast Starlink deployments to Starship once the vehicle achieves reliable orbital performance. Progress depends on successful Texas test flights, including the upcoming Flight 14 orbital attempt targeted for late September, followed by regulatory approvals and static fire testing at new Florida facilities. Historical patterns show launch site certifications and vehicle reusability milestones typically require several months after initial orbital success, while competitive pressures from increasing launch demand favor rapid East Coast expansion.
