SpaceX’s Starship Reaches Earth Orbit for the First Time
Bareen Media – SpaceX’s Starship has reached Earth orbit for the first time during its 14th test flight, marking a major milestone in the company’s effort to develop a next-generation heavy-lift spacecraft.
The vehicle launched from Starbase in Texas and climbed to around 275 kilometres above Earth. Despite a problem with one of its engines, engineers continued the mission and successfully placed 26 Starlink satellites into orbit.
The mission was later shortened because of a technical issue, with Starship eventually re-entering the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.
The flight marks a significant step in SpaceX’s plans for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
