Elon Musk just revealed that SpaceX is targeting its next Starship flight for the end of August, and it is going to power Starlink’s next major leap
Flight 14 is expected to carry the first batch of upgraded Starlink V3 satellites to orbit
• Around 10× more broadband capacity and data density per satellite
• Up to 60 V3 satellites planned for future Starship launches
• A possible first attempt to catch the Starship upper stage with the launch tower
• The launch timing and catch attempt remain subject to regulatory approval
Falcon 9 built Starlink into a network serving 12 million subscribers
Starship will begin scaling that network at an entirely different level
