Ship 41 underwent two cryogenic proof tests on June 30, 2026. Booster 21 also underwent its own cryogenic proof tests from July 18-20, 2026. The engines' static firing test campaign started on August 19, 2026. It was completed with a full duration static fire of all 33 engines of Booster 21 on August 28, 2026. After 13 suborbital test flights, this is planned to be the first orbital flight, and the first deployment of orbital payloads (Starlink V3 satellites) by Starship.
