Starship flight 14

Rare card · No. 35113

Starship flight 14 was the fourteenth launch and the first operational flight of the SpaceX Starship launch system. Building on the preceding flight-test campaign, the mission marked a significant expansion of Starship's objectives, successfully entering a sustained low Earth orbit trajectory and completing the first operational Starlink deployment. The flight marked the first time a Starship spacecraft entered sustained Earth orbit and deployed functional payloads. The mission was a landmark step in the program's development and in demonstrating the spacecraft's potential for carrying cargo and, eventually, human passengers. Flight 14 also set several milestones for the Starship program, including the longest-duration Starship flight to date and the first time the launch system reached orbit. The mission deployed 26 operational Starlink V3 satellites. Each V3 satellite was designed to provide substantially greater network capacity than earlier V2-generation satellites.
