Starship Rocket Launch
SpaceX is set to launch Starship Flight 13 on Thursday, July 16, 2026, lifting off from Orbital Launch Pad 2 at Starbase, Texas. The 90-minute launch window opens at 5:45 p.m. Central Time. This will be the 13th integrated test flight of the Starship-Super Heavy system and the second flight of the upgraded V3 vehicle configuration.
For the first time, Starship will carry real cargo instead of mass simulators: 20 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites. Six of those satellites carry camera suites aimed at Starship's heat shield, gathering imagery to help engineers assess tile readiness for future flights. The mission follows an FAA-closed investigation into the prior Flight 12 mishap, with hardware and software changes made to prevent a repeat.
Rocket launches make especially satisfying jigsaw puzzles — the bright plume of fire and exhaust against open sky gives sharp, distinct edges that are easy to piece together, while the smoke trail adds just enough texture to keep it interesting. It's a great pick for anyone following the space program or just looking for a dramatic, high-energy scene to piece together.
