On September 22, 2026, Starship is scheduled to reach orbit for the first time, circle the Earth six times and deploy 26 operational Starlink‑V3 satellites at 275 km altitude, increasing the network by about 26 Tbit/s. The booster and second stage will not land but will fall into the sea, while SpaceX simultaneously tests hardware and software changes to address previously observed engine icing issues. Parts of the heat shield from the previous flight will be reused to partially test Starship’s reusability for the first time. » Más en heise.de

Cathie Wood estimates a fully utilized Starship launch could generate about $1 billion in long-term revenue for Starlink, implying a total potential of around $10 billion. Her assumption is based on Starlink V3, which can carry up to 60 satellites with roughly 61 Tbps of downlink capacity—significantly more than a Falcon 9 launch. Flight 14 is expected to reach stable Earth orbit and deploy 26 Starlink V3 satellites on Sept. 22; Elon Musk described Wood’s assessment as “not impossible.” » Más en finanzen.net

The SpaceX IPO raised around $86 billion and lifted global issuance volume in the first half to about $186.8 billion. The number of IPOs nonetheless fell; in Germany there were three listings (ASTA Energy, VINCORION, Gabler) with very different price trajectories. ASTA Energy has more than doubled since the IPO, VINCORION and Gabler are trading close to their issue price, and the planned KNDS deal was canceled at short notice. Investors should judge IPOs by business model, order book and deal structure rather than by headlines alone. » Más en finanzen.net
