SpaceX Plans Big Rocket Test to Launch Internet Satellites

SpaceX hopes to fly Starship Flight 14 from Starbase, Texas on September 28, 2026, pending FAA approval. It would drop off 26 V3 Starlink internet satellites and try to circle Earth completely for the first time, after a shorter July test dropped 20 improved ones. Starship is built to haul over 100 metric tonnes to orbit and be reused.
