- On its 15th test flight on November 13, 2026, the upper stage completed 14 Earth orbits over 22.5 hours.
- Before reentry, Starship deployed 26 Starlink satellites at an altitude of about 260 kilometers.
- The Super Heavy booster failed to return about 10 minutes after liftoff, so both rocket stages were not recovered on one flight.
- The heat shield is not yet fully reusable; SpaceX is developing tiles intended to require little or no refurbishment.

- Bedford said faulty equipment caused the nationwide ground stop on Friday, November 13.
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said a router became unstable while copper equipment was being replaced, prompting officials to order the ground stop.
- L3Harris said it was supporting the FAA investigation and had completed more than 70% of the planned switch from copper to fiber-optic communications with the FAA and telecom partners.
- American Airlines announced fare caps on domestic and short-haul international flights and said it had added 1,750 seats through extra flights on Saturday as further delays were expected.
“With millions of Americans preparing to travel for the holidays, families deserve answers and confidence in the safety of our skies. Congress must launch a full investigation to determine what went wrong and ensure it never happens again.”— New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement, calling for a full investigation into problems in the U.S. aviation system.

- Zelensky said the link between NATO membership and territorial concessions had been raised for the first time during talks with Russia.
- Zelensky is not ready to cede territory; with security guarantees, a strong, well-funded army and reconstruction funds, he would put the question to a referendum.
- The two-day, U.S.-brokered talks in Abu Dhabi ended Wednesday without a major breakthrough; a prisoner exchange involving more than 1,000 people was agreed, with final figures still under discussion.
- After meeting U.S. envoys in Ireland on Thursday, Zelensky said they had told him all sides agreed Europe would have a seat at the table in future peace talks.
