Liftoff of Starship Flight 13
Starship and Super Heavy V3 lifted off from Starbase, Texas, at approximately 6:45 p.m. CDT on a suborbital trajectory.
Booster Splashdown in Gulf of Mexico
After separation, the Super Heavy V3 booster performed a controlled descent and soft splashdown; no tower catch was attempted.
First Starlink V3 Satellite Deployment
Starship released 20 next‑generation Starlink V3 satellites from its payload bay; the satellites burned up during reentry about 20 minutes later as planned.
Starship Splashdown in Indian Ocean
The upper stage survived reentry, restarted a Raptor engine in space, and made a soft, upright splashdown while continuing to transmit telemetry and video.
Launch Scrubbed Due to Weather
SpaceX postponed the 13th flight test by one day because cloud cover and visibility would have prevented clear heat shield imagery during ascent.
Original launch target
First planned launch date for Starship Flight 13, postponed due to technical issues.
Flight 12: Starship S39 Explodes After Splashdown
The first V3 Starship vehicle completed a suborbital flight but exploded shortly after a splashdown, prompting software and hardware fixes.
SpaceX’s Starship completed its 13th test flight, successfully deploying 20 operational Starlink V3 satellites and reigniting a Raptor engine in space for the first time. The milestones accelerate the Starlink mega-constellation expansion and validate key technologies for orbital refueling and deep-space missions.

SpaceX’s 13th Starship test flight on July 24, 2026, marked the first deployment of 20 next‑gen Starlink V3 satellites and a controlled Indian Ocean splashdown. The mission validated critical systems—Raptor restart, heat shield upgrades, and payload bay operations—that pave the way for lunar landings and large‑scale constellation build‑out.
A veteran telecom analyst just slapped a $401 price target on SpaceX, implying a $5.3 trillion valuation and 117% upside. Such a call demands investors accept 80x forward sales and the uncertainty of an unproven rocket.
Arete Research’s $401 price target for SpaceX isn’t just a financial call—it’s a wager on Starship achieving commercial viability. Without that heavy-lift rocket, the Starlink V3 satellites that form the analyst’s thesis remain grounded, leaving the stock’s upside highly uncertain.
