SpaceX's recent announcement after the successful July 24 Flight 13 has driven trader focus on Starship Flight 14, with CEO Elon Musk targeting a late-August 2026 launch from Starbase to achieve the first orbital profile and initial tower catch of the Ship upper stage. The V3 vehicles, Booster 21 and Ship 41, will also deploy the first upgraded V3 Starlink satellites while returning the booster to the launch site, marking a major reusability milestone. Regulatory approval from the FAA remains the key near-term gate, as the expanded mission scope requires updated licenses beyond prior test flights. Historical rapid iteration after each integrated flight test supports momentum toward a quick turnaround, though any data review issues or approval delays could shift the timeline.

If SpaceX attempts an ocean splashdown of the Starship upper stage instead of attempting to catch it using the Orbital Launch Tower’s chopsticks, this market will resolve to “No.”
A successful catch is defined as the chopsticks capturing and supporting the Starship upper stage without it falling to the ground or causing catastrophic damage during the landing process.
This market pertains to the 14th Starship launch. If the rocket lifts off the pad, it will be considered the 14th Starship launch, and this market will resolve based on it. If the rocket does not lift off the pad, it will not be considered the 14th launch, and this market will stay open until the 14th launch has occurred. If the 14th launch has not occurred by June 30, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.
