SpaceX Prepares Starship Flight 15 for Full System Recovery Amid Strong Sector Earnings
SpaceX is preparing for the highly anticipated Flight 15 of its Starship launch vehicle, scheduled as early as November 13, 2026. This mission aims to achieve a historic milestone by attempting to catch both the Starship upper stage and the Super Heavy V3 booster at the launch site, marking the first potential full recovery of an orbital launch system. The flight also includes the deployment of 26 Starlink V3 satellites, significantly boosting constellation capacity. Parallel to SpaceX's technical milestones, several publicly traded space companies reported robust third-quarter 2026 financial results. Rocket Lab (RKLB) achieved record quarterly revenue of $268 million and a massive $3.6 billion backlog, while Firefly Aerospace (FLY) saw revenue surge by 259% year-on-year to $110.7 million. These strong earnings reports have contributed to upward price movement across the space sector as companies secure significant new launch contracts.
