The Federal Aviation Administration released an operational notice scheduling the 14th SpaceX Starship flight for September 18. The launch will take place from the Starbase facility in Texas.
This mission marks the first time SpaceX will conduct a commercial revenue-generating flight with the Starship system. The primary objective is to deploy mass-produced V3 Starlink satellites into orbit.
According to FCC documentation, the primary launch window is set for September 18 between 12:15 and 14:14 UTC. A backup window is reserved for the same time on September 19.
While the flight focuses on commercial satellite deployment, the official notice does not specify the exact number of satellites or their orbital parameters. The mission represents a shift from previous test flights.
The FAA notice also confirms other upcoming SpaceX activities. These include the MPOWER-F mission launching from Cape Canaveral on September 13 and the TH-1 mission from Vandenberg Space Force Base on September 16.
