SpaceX advanced Starship reusability goals after Flight 14 successfully reached orbit and deployed Starlink satellites on September 28. Elon Musk stated on October 10 that Flight 15, using Block 3 Booster 22 and Ship 42, targets a November launch window around November 8 or earlier, with the first attempted tower catch of the upper stage alongside the booster. Vehicle preparations include recent cryogenic testing and engine work on Ship 42, while airspace planning supports the timeline. A modified FAA launch license will be required for the expanded recovery profile, and any delays in static fires or approvals could shift the schedule. Success here would mark the first full orbital-class recovery and set up rapid reflights on Flight 16.
