SpaceX plans to attempt its first orbital flight of Starship on September 22, marking the 14th test flight of the massive rocket. The mission will deploy 26 third-generation Starlink satellites into the company's existing network of 10,000 internet satellites.
Success on this flight would represent a significant milestone: the first Starship launch carrying actual commercial cargo. This achievement would generate revenue for SpaceX's launch division, moving the company beyond test phases toward operational, profit-generating missions.
