SpaceX is advancing Starship Flight 15 preparations following Flight 14’s successful orbital insertion and Starlink deployment on September 28. Elon Musk stated in mid-October that the mission is targeted roughly four to six weeks out—pointing to a mid-to-late November window—with plans to attempt the first tower catch of both the Block 3 Super Heavy booster (B22) and upper stage (Ship 42). Vehicle work continues at Starbase, including recent cryogenic proof testing on Ship 42 after engine removal and ongoing static-fire readiness checks. Regulatory approval, final engine reliability fixes, and airspace coordination remain the main near-term variables ahead of a potential November 8 NET date.
