SpaceX completes 11th Starship flight, retires Version 2 as upgraded prototype campaign begins

SpaceX launched a more-than-400-foot Starship-Super Heavy in a near-flawless 11th suborbital test from Starbase, deploying test satellites and returning largely intact. The mission was the final flight for Version 2 and clears the way for test-launching an upgraded prototype built for moon and Mars missions.

SpaceX seeks 50 MHz and up to 15,000 more Starlink satellites to counter Apple and carrier-backed rivals SpaceX has filed for 50 MHz of spectrum and authorization to add up to 15,000 Starlink satellites, a bid to extend the network into direct-to-mobile services and blunt competition from Apple and carrier-backed rivals. The move expands Starlink's planned radio and orbital footprint at scale.

Amazon schedules back-to-back Project Kuiper launches as Blue Origin slips New Glenn's second flight Amazon plans two Project Kuiper broadband-satellite launches just days apart, compressing its deployment cadence and accelerating constellation buildout. The moves come as Blue Origin’s New Glenn second flight slips, a timing shift that could affect heavy‑lift availability and payload manifests for Kuiper and other customers.

Direct-to-device satellite market readies for liftoff as operators, carriers and militaries converge Space service providers are escalating competition in direct-to-device (D2D) satellite services as operators, mobile carriers and defense buyers race to field phone-to-space links. Big moves—EchoStar spectrum deals, SpaceX and Amazon commercial pushes, and AST SpaceMobile launch plans—are turning D2D from concept to imminent market reality.
