@richmargin: SpaceX is getting ready for their next Starship test launch on September 22, 2026. Booster objectives • Clean launch, ascent, sep, boostback, landing burn • Offshore splashdown in the Gulf of America (about 7 minutes after launch) • Fixes after Flight 13: ice clogging on the 3 center engines ended boostback early; only 8 of 13 landing engines lit but hard splashdown … this booster has better engine filtering + software for relight reliability Ship objectives • First orbital insertion • Deploy 26 Starlink V3s into the constellation • Single-Raptor deorbit burn in space • Controlled reentry / splashdown west of Chile after ~6 orbits • Orbit burn only happens if flight control confirms enough redundancy for the later deorbit burn #spacex #starship #starlink
