🚀 For 13 flights, Starship was intentionally kept on a suborbital path. Flight 14 changed that.
On September 28, Ship 41 reached orbit for the first time, despite an early Raptor engine shutdown. SpaceX then used another engine burn to complete orbital insertion.
At roughly 275 km above Earth, Starship deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites—its first operational payload in orbit.
The flight ended early, but the milestone was enormous.
Starship didn’t just reach space. It finally entered the orbital era. 🌍🔥

SpaceX drains 2.4 Million Liters of water IN ONE MINUTE to prevent Starship - the most powerful rocket in the world - from destroying its own launchpad. Water absorbs the heat and acoustic energy by rapidly turning into steam as it exists at high pressure through millions of small holes on the flame deflector and top deck during liftoff.😯
