Track; not yet
- Why
- Debut V3 flight reached space and survived reentry — a real milestone — but an engine-out, a destroyed booster, no orbital deployment, and an active FAA grounding mean it is a maturing test article, not an operational vehicle.
- Next
- Watch for FAA clearance of the Flight 12 mishap investigation, then a first full orbital V3 flight with a successful booster catch and a real Starlink V3 deployment before treating it as a usable launch path.
