SpaceX is preparing Starship Flight 15 as the next major step after Flight 14’s September 28 orbital success and Starlink deployment. Elon Musk stated on October 10 that the mission using Booster 22 and Ship 42 is targeted for roughly four to six weeks out, pointing to a November window before Thanksgiving and a no-earlier-than date around November 8 from Starbase Pad 2. The primary focus is the first attempted tower catch of the Starship upper stage alongside the booster, a milestone that would mark the initial full recovery of an orbital-class rocket. Ongoing cryogenic testing and engine work on Ship 42 continue in parallel with regulatory and airspace planning, while Flight 16 is eyed for potential reuse of both vehicles. Trader sentiment reflects the tight linkage between vehicle readiness, FAA approvals, and these recovery objectives.
