SpaceX’s Version 3 Starships incorporate standard androgynous docking ports and propellant transfer hardware, enabling the first planned ship-to-ship rendezvous and refueling demonstration in low-Earth orbit. Flight 13 in July 2026 validated key V3 upgrades including engine relight and intact reentry, building momentum toward the targeted Q3-Q4 2026 test that requires sequential launches of a target vehicle and tanker. Flight 14, now set for no earlier than September 22, 2026, will mark the first orbital attempt and operational Starlink V3 deployment but will not include docking. Trader sentiment reflects the compressed timeline for multi-ship operations once FAA mishap reviews conclude and clearances for longer-duration missions are secured, tempered by the program’s history of iterative delays.

This market will resolve to “Yes” if two SpaceX Starships successfully execute a docking maneuver in a stable Earth orbit between market creation and the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A qualifying docking maneuver must physically join two vessels, matching in velocity, into a connected structure via mating hardware for at least 60 continuous seconds. The two vessels must be in stable Earth orbit with a perigee of at least 100 kilometers above the Earth’s surface.
The docking of any two SpaceX vessels which each serve as an integrated rocket-and-spacecraft and both equal or exceed Starship in scale will qualify regardless of their contents or variant (standard, tanker, depot, HLS, test article, etc.). The two vessels must be free-flying. Any capsule or payload carried to orbit exclusively atop a separate launch vehicle will not qualify. If either vessel is passively placed into the mating interface of the other vessel, that conjunction will not qualify.
