Starlink Group 31-1 (Starship Flight 14)

Starship Flight 14 from Starbase reached orbit for the first time and deployed 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites—the vehicle's first orbital payload, all confirmed operating. One of Ship's six Raptors shut down on ascent, so SpaceX cut the planned 10-hour flight to about three hours and splashed down in the northern Pacific; Super Heavy ditched in the Gulf.
