Following confirmation of orbit, Starship launched 26 of its new Starlink V3 satellites, with a wingspan (solar) of 197 feet, about 2/3 of the way across a football field in size. These satellites are now operational and functioning nominally. Following completion of two orbits around the Earth, Starship decided to come back early due to engine concerns and engaged a de-orbit burn to bring the perigee into Earth's atmosphere. Once Starship hit Earth's atmosphere, it endured temperatures of over 2,600 degrees Fahrenheit. It successfully returned to the Pacific Ocean, landing for a water splashdown where recovery efforts continue. This marks a key milestone in America's return to the Moon, and the increasing cargo capability for space missions.
