		Thirteenth Starship flight test. It repeated the same flight profile as the previous flights, with the ship falling slightly short of reaching orbit. This was the first flight with real Starlink v3 satellites. Six Starlinks were fitted with lights and cameras to look at Starships heat shield before reentry. All of the satellites also deployed their solar arrays and antennas to test newer hardware and to connect with the Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers.
