[SpaceX to Attempt Simultaneous Recovery of Starship Booster and Ship]
Golden Finance reports that on October 21, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk stated during the Q3 earnings report that for Starship, the 14th flight marked a critical milestone—Sasha reached orbit for the first time and successfully deployed operational-grade Starlink V3 satellites. The 15th flight is expected to take place next month, during which we will attempt to recover both the booster and the ship simultaneously. If successful, this will be the first time in the history of orbital launch vehicles that full recovery is achieved, representing a significant technological milestone. Even if the 15th flight is not successful, we will persist. The success of the first few flights is not guaranteed to be 100%, but I believe the probability of success for the next flight exceeds 50%. If it is not successful, we will continue scheduling Starship flight attempts through the end of this year and further increase the frequency next year.
