On September 28th, SpaceX plans to send its massive Starship into orbit for the first time on Monday for a test flight expected to last nearly 10 hours. This milestone event may lay the foundation for the rocket's future regular satellite launches. During this flight, the Starship will carry 26 upgraded SpaceX Starlink satellites, with plans to deploy them into orbit and integrate them into the existing space internet network. Previously, all of Starship's space launch missions avoided entering orbit to ensure safety. If this mission is successful, it could open the door to more orbital flight missions. SpaceX will take this opportunity to send the first batch of upgraded V3 Starlink satellites into orbit, joining the current space network consisting of over 11,000 satellites. In previous missions, the Starship has also deployed V3 Starlink satellites, but these satellites ultimately burned up as planned upon entering Earth's atmosphere.
