SpaceX's account of the 28 September flight records an orbit insertion burn and Starship's first orbit around Earth, followed by its first deorbit burn and an on-target Pacific splashdown. The record moves from announced to achieved; the shortened orbital coast after an ascent engine shutdown is noted.
Flight 14 deployed all 26 satellites from orbit and SpaceX says they will raise their orbits before serving customers. Unlike Flight 13's suborbital deployment, these satellites stay up, so the record moves from partially achieved to achieved. Service entry is not yet reported.
No SpaceX year-end figure exists, so the outcome is recorded from an independent launch database (101 Falcon launches from Cape Canaveral and Kennedy) and the range operator's all-provider total (109). The status moves from uncertain to achieved with a one-launch margin and the counting source stated.
SpaceX's 8 October update announces an agreement to buy up to 14 MHz of paired 800 MHz spectrum and makes deployment conditional on FCC approval, with no date given. Recorded as announced with an unknown target window. The same update's FCC approval of the 15,000-satellite Gen2 constellation is noted as context.
A new target was recorded for orbital flight, tied to a flight number rather than a date. The same statement links operational Starlink V3 delivery and the first orbital propellant transfer to the start of orbital missions, so both records now carry that context. The 2026 propellant transfer window was neither restated nor withdrawn.
Added a company-execution milestone for the Terafab facility in Grimes County. The record notes that the announcement's groundbreaking headline refers to a Tesla research fab at Giga Texas, not to construction in Grimes County, and that no completion date was stated.
Recorded the Flight 13 deployment as partial progress. All twenty satellites deployed and were communicated with, and SpaceX states they were expected to demise on reentry about twenty minutes later, so the record stays partially achieved rather than achieved.
The company's pricing release stated an expected first trading date; Nasdaq's newsroom records trading opening on that date. The milestone moved to achieved on the exchange source, not on the company's expectation.
Recorded the V3 debut as achieved against the stated criteria, which cover the integrated flight rather than booster recovery. The record notes the engine shutdown during ascent, the partial boostback burn and the hard booster splashdown.
Added records for the commercial circumlunar flyby and the crewed Mars flyby. Both carry an unknown target window: the announcement names crew and mission profiles but no launch date, and this site does not infer one.
Recorded the original 2026 target window for the long-duration flight test and the ship-to-ship propellant transfer test, at the year precision SpaceX used. The roughly five tonnes of propellant already moved between tanks in space is recorded as partial evidence, since it was an intra-vehicle transfer.
