đ SpaceX Update â October 1, 2026
1. Starship reached orbit for the first time.
On September 28, Starship Flight 14 successfully reached Earth orbit and deployed 26 Starlink satellites. The mission was cut short after an engine issue, but reaching orbit was a major test milestone.
2. Crew launch is scheduled today.
NASA and SpaceX are targeting 11:10 a.m. EDT (3:10 p.m. UTC / 8:40 p.m. IST) for the Crown launch to the ISS aboard Falcon 9 and Dragon. NASA's launch-readiness review gave a âgo,â although weather remains a factor.
3. Very busy launch day.
SpaceX is scheduled for three launches within about 13 hours today, including Created, a Transported rideshare mission, and a Falcon Heavy mission.
4. Starlink expansion continues.
Recent Falcon 9 missions continue adding Starlink satellites, while the new Starship architecture is intended to eventually carry much larger Starlink payloads.
Key takeaway: The biggest current SpaceX story is the combination of Starship's first orbital success + continued Starlink expansion + today's Crowds human-spaceflight mission.
