Starlink 10-45 launch from Florida
Falcon 9 rocket launches 29 Starlink satellites at 5:10 a.m. EDT from SLC-40, booster flies 28th mission and lands on droneship.
FAA accepts Starship mishap report
Two most probable root causes identified: heat effects on propulsion components and erroneous engine alarm system settings. Four corrective actions accepted.
FAA clears Starship for flight
The FAA announces acceptance of SpaceX’s mishap investigation and lifts the grounding order, clearing the way for Flight 13.
Starship's 12th test flight
Super Heavy booster lost during descent into the Gulf of Mexico; no injuries or public property damage.
Starship Flight 12 mishap
The first flight of Starship Version 3 ends with an uncontrolled booster landing in the Gulf, triggering an FAA mishap investigation and grounding.
FAA approves higher launch cadence
Federal Aviation Administration authorizes up to 25 annual Starship/Super Heavy orbital launches, up to 25 annual landings of Starship, and up to 25 annual landings of Super Heavy, plus vehicle upgrades.
City of Starbase incorporated
Starbase is established as a Texas municipality in part to help grow SpaceX's workforce and increase capacity for development and manufacturing needed for more rocket launches.
SpaceX's company town Starbase is asking residents to consider annexing 7,100 acres of surrounding state and private land, expanding the Boca Chica operational footprint. The move follows FAA authorization for up to 25 annual Starship/Super Heavy launches and is framed as a way to improve state and federal coordination for lunar and Martian missions.
SpaceX’s Starship completed its 13th test flight, successfully deploying 20 operational Starlink V3 satellites and reigniting a Raptor engine in space for the first time. The milestones accelerate the Starlink mega-constellation expansion and validate key technologies for orbital refueling and deep-space missions.
