SpaceX is poised to send its Starship-Super Heavy rocket to orbit for the first time in program history on Monday, Sept. 28. The orbital launch attempt of the 124-meter-tall (407 ft) rocket comes 18 years after the company’s first launcher, the Falcon 1, reached orbit for the first time.

Starship carried out two laps of the Earth – rather than the planned six – before SpaceX decided to end the mission early and bring it back to Earth.

However, one of the aims of the mission, which was successfully completed, was the delivery of 26 "next generation" Starlink V3 satellites into orbit.
