SpaceX Starship may soon take over Falcon Heavy missions as we analyze the potential orbital trajectory for Flight 14.
Following the launch of the NASA telescope on Falcon Heavy, Elon Musk is weighing a shift in operational strategy. New FCC filings suggest Flight 14 could reach orbit as early as September 15th, potentially carrying a massive payload designed to map a billion galaxies.
We examine the evidence within the spectrum license and the newly observed payload door on the vehicle. This analysis connects the dots between current hardware testing and the future of SpaceX Starship missions, clarifying what this means for the broader launch schedule.
