SpaceX计划于美国东部时间9月28日上午8:15从德克萨斯州斯塔库港发射星舰火箭，执行该火箭有史以来的首次轨道飞行任务1。这次发射标志着星舰项目的重要突破，将是该火箭的第14次任务，前13次均为亚轨道飞行1。
本次飞行任务将把高度171英尺的飞船送入地球轨道，并部署26颗下一代星链V3互联网卫星，其后飞船预计将在秘鲁沿海太平洋溅落1。整个飞行过程从发射到太平洋溅落将耗时约10小时1。此举代表SpaceX向其更宏大的星链卫星星座计划迈出了关键一步，该星座目前已拥有约11,000颗运营卫星，而根据埃隆·马斯克的愿景，最终将包含100,000颗航天器1。
NASA已选择星舰作为阿尔忒弥斯计划的首个载人月球着陆器，目标在2028年实现载人登月1。
SpaceX is set to launch its Starship rocket on its first orbital flight on September 28 at 8:15 a.m. Eastern Time from its facility in Starbase, Texas 1. This mission represents a significant milestone for the fully integrated vehicle, which stands 407 feet tall when the booster and upper stage are stacked together 1.
The 171-foot-tall spacecraft will carry 26 next-generation Starlink V3 internet satellites into Earth orbit before splashing down in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Peru 1. The entire flight sequence is expected to take approximately ten hours from launch to ocean splashdown 1. This orbital attempt follows thirteen previous Starship test flights, all of which remained suborbital 1.
The launch extends SpaceX's broader satellite constellation efforts. The company currently operates approximately 11,000 Starlink satellites, and SpaceX founder Elon Musk has previously indicated that the new Starlink constellation could ultimately comprise as many as 100,000 spacecraft 1. Additionally, NASA has selected Starship as the vehicle for the Artemis program's initial crewed lunar landing, with a target year of 2028 1.
