Starship Flight 14 reportedly put 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit

A user says these are the first Starship-delivered satellites to join the Starlink network and estimates that each V3 adds about 1 terabit per second of download capacity.

TLDR

A user says Starship Flight 14 put 26 Starlink V3 satellites into orbit on September 28. The post estimates their combined download capacity at about 26 terabits per second and says SpaceX puts that at about 10 times the capacity added by one Falcon 9 Starlink mission. The user expects existing Starlink dishes to work with the V3 satellites and to get faster as they come online.

Starship lifts off on its first orbital flight

A user replying to SpaceX’s launch announcement claimed Starship reached orbit on its first attempt and deployed Starlink V3 satellites.

Starship reaches orbit for the first time and deploys 26 Starlink V3 satellites

SpaceX says its Starlink team contacted all 26 satellites. Fast Company reports that an engine shut down too soon and Starship returned early.

Teslaconomics@TeslaconomicsI think investors are underestimating what Starship just did today… I had Grok Build compile every Starlink V3 satellites that came off today’s Starship Flight 14 and it put 26 of them into orbit. This is the FIRST TIME Starship has delivered real ones that actually join the network. Today’s launch was a VERY big deal. 1/ Each V3 adds about 1 terabit a second of download. That's about 10 times a V2, which is what Falcon 9 has been flying since 2023. Upload is about 22 times higher. And each one can serve way more homes, businesses, people that need internet at the same time. 2/ This flight carried 26 of them. That’s about 26 terabits a second in one launch. SpaceX says that is about 10 times the internet one Falcon 9 Starlink mission adds. So this single flight just added about as much capacity as 10 normal Starlink launches. 3/ Falcon 9 can't even carry these, they’re too big. These V3 satellites are built for Starship's cargo bay, so until today, Starlink has been growing one Falcon 9 at a time. Starship + V3 are about to turbocharge Starlink’s growth. 4/ A full Starship later will hold about 60 Starlinks. That's literally about 20 times one Falcon 9 launch. Elon already said it on the earnings call… each V3 is about 10 times a V2, and he expects to launch about 10 times as many of them. Once Starship is doing that on repeat, you're talking about something like 100 times the bandwidth. The first 26 that are already up is just the beginning. 5/ If you already have Starlink, you don't need to buy a new dish. Mini, Standard, Roam, the one I use in my Cybertruck… it will connect to whatever is overhead. As these V3 satellites come online, that same dish should get faster and hold up better when everybody is on. I think people are underestimating what Starlink becomes once Starship can do this more than once. And today it just did it once. More is coming… Congratulations to @SpaceX for this unbelievable milestone.11d
