The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a notice stating that SpaceX plans to conduct the 14th flight test of its Starship on September 18 from its Starbase in Texas. This marks its first flight aimed at generating commercial revenue, with the primary mission to deploy mass-produced V3 Starlink satellites into space. The primary launch window is from 12:15 to 14:14 UTC on the same day (20:15 to 22:14 Beijing Time), with a backup window scheduled for the same time period on September 19. This mission signifies a substantial leap for SpaceX from technical validation to commercial operations. Additionally, SpaceX is set to carry out the MPOWER-F and TH-1 missions in Florida and California on September 13 and 16, respectively, highlighting its multi-pronged launch capabilities. The notice also addresses airspace control coordination to ensure the safety of launches and civil aviation.
