SpaceX Tries to Save Ship 40 as Flight 14 Nears | Starship Update
SpaceX is attempting to recover Ship 40 from the Indian Ocean following its remarkably controlled landing on Starship Flight 13. After drifting more than 400 kilometers, the vehicle is now surrounded by a fleet of recovery vessels—but can SpaceX actually tow it back to shore?Meanwhile, preparations for Starship Flight 14 are moving forward. New planning documents point toward a possible August launch, Booster 21 and Ship 41 are being prepared for testing, and SpaceX may even be considering its first attempt to catch a Starship with the launch tower’s chopsticks.
In this Starship Update, we also examine newly released Flight 13 landing footage, imagery captured by the deployed Starlink V3 satellites, possible heatshield damage, repairs and upgrades at Pad 2, and an intriguing new structural test article known as Ship 43.1.
We then visit McGregor for the latest Raptor 3 engine testing—including a possible full-duration Booster 20 engine firing—and track progress on Ship 42, Booster 22, Starbase’s Gigabay, Pad 1, LC-39A, and the newly completed Starship launch tower at SLC-37A in Florida.
What should SpaceX do with Ship 40: inspect it in Australia, or attempt to transport it all the way back to Starbase? Let us know in the comments!
