- Starship’s 14th test flight completed full orbital insertion for the first time and placed commercial-grade Starlink V3 satellites in orbit.
- One upper-stage Raptor shut down early; a 19-second restart subsequently placed Starship in orbit about 171 miles above Earth.
- SpaceX reported contact with all 26 satellites; each weighs about two metric tons and can add one terabit per second of capacity.
- After deployment, SpaceX shortened the mission because of the engine issue; Starship splashed down near Hawaii and later broke apart.
Out of an abundance of caution given the engine issue experienced during ascent, the flight control team decided to limit the duration spent on orbit and proceeded with de-orbiting Starship to a splashdown location in the northern Pacific Ocean.— SpaceX said in a statement that due to the engine issue during ascent, the flight control team limited time on orbit and de-orbited Starship to a splashdown location in the northern Pacific Ocean.

- The recent Starship launch was aborted just before liftoff after four of the 33 booster engines failed to ignite.
- SpaceX intends to replace two Raptor engines on the booster to ensure a successful upcoming flight.
- The 13th test flight will carry 20 Starlink satellites that will burn up on a suborbital trajectory.
- Despite the setback and a 6% stock decline, Starship remains a critical element of SpaceX’s multi-decade infrastructure plans.
Some of the engines didn't start.— Elon Musk wrote on X that the abort was triggered because 'some of the engines didn't start.'
