Flight 13 is expected to be the first #orbital 🌌 flight of #Starship, as well as the first to target a tower catch 🦾 of the upper stage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_Starship#2026
The first flight of Starship V3 will look a lot like #SpaceX’s past Starship test flights. The following flight will bring the ship back for a reentry over northern #Mexico and recovery back at SpaceX’s test facility at #Starbase, Texas. Chance of a successful 👍 Starship catch happening in 2026: 70 percent https://arstechnica.com/space/2026/01/here-are-the-launches-and-landings-were-most-excited-about-in-2026/
