SpaceX recovered its Ship 40 booster and is preparing Ship 41 for testing ahead of Flight 14, according to NASASpaceflight. The recovery follows a successful land‑back of the prototype after a test flight in August 2026. Ship 41, the next Starship prototype, is slated for a static fire test at SpaceX’s launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, with Flight 14 targeted for later this year. Engineers will perform integrated systems checks and assess refurbishment status before the upcoming orbital flight. The schedule for Flight 14 remains dependent on final hardware readiness and regulatory clearance.
