SpaceX completed its thirteenth Starship flight test on July 24, 2026, marking the second flight of the V3 vehicles and the first deployment of upgraded Starlink V3 satellites. This success has accelerated preparations for Flight 14, now targeted no earlier than late August from Starbase, with goals including the first full orbital profile, deployment of additional V3 Starlink satellites, and an attempted tower catch of the Starship upper stage using the "chopstick" arms. Regulatory approvals remain the key gating factor for both the launch window and the catch attempt, while Booster 21 and Ship 41 undergo final testing. Market-implied odds reflect strong trader confidence in a launch by September or October, driven by SpaceX's rapid iteration cadence and demonstrated progress with Raptor 3 engines and hot-staging, though any FAA delays or technical issues could shift timelines.

The outcome of any launch will be corroborated by examining official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.
Any subsequent anomaly (e.g., an explosion) after the launch will have no bearing on the outcome. Any name change of the Starship with another vehicle will have no bearing on the outcome of the market.
