SpaceX has successfully completed a wet dress rehearsal for its next Starship launch, confirming that the rocket is ready to fly. Flight 14 is scheduled for Monday, September 28, and will be the first time the Starship vehicle attempts to reach orbit. The mission will test the spacecraft's ability to deploy satellites and perform a controlled return to Earth.
During a WDR, mission teams fuel up a vehicle and go through all of the major steps they will take on launch day, without actually igniting the engines.
With this key test in the books, remains on track to launch Monday morning (Sept. 28) on its 14th-ever test flight, which will take the 407-foot-tall (124-meter-tall) vehicle farther than it has ever gone before. Starship debuted in April 2023. That launch, and the next 12 that followed, all sent Starship's upper-stage spacecraft, known as Ship, on a suborbital trajectory. On Flight 14, however, the 171-foot-tall (52-m-tall) Ship will go fast enough to enter orbit. Once up there, it will deploy 26 of SpaceX's next-gen
