Watch SpaceX Starship deploy all 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit for the first time

Starship's Ship 41 deployed all 26 Starlink V3 satellites one by one after reaching orbit on Flight 14, launched from Starbase, Texas, on September 28, 2026. SpaceX confirmed contact with all 26. The moment came minutes after an early engine shutdown briefly threatened the mission, with SpaceX spokesperson Dan Huot initially saying the team would not commit to orbit before reversing course once the ship's remaining engines were confirmed able to complete the burn.
