SpaceX Starship Megarocket Successfully Reaches Orbit on 14th Test Flight

Elon Musk's Starship megarocket reached orbit for the first time on Monday after launching from Starbase, Texas, on its 14th test flight.

The upper stage separated from the Super Heavy booster and performed a second burn to reach a circular orbit about 275 km above Earth.

The spacecraft began deploying 26 next-generation Starlink satellites while completing its orbital trajectory ahead of a planned Pacific Ocean splashdown.
