SpaceX achieved its first Starship orbital flight on Flight 14 in late September 2026, deploying Starlink simulators and validating key systems despite an engine issue, yet in-orbit docking between two vehicles remains undemonstrated. Recent announcements center on Flight 15's planned November 2026 double tower catch of Booster 22 and Ship 42, advancing booster reuse while the upper stage has never been caught. NASA’s revised Artemis III architecture calls for a 2027 Earth-orbit docking test between a Florida-launched Starship and Orion to validate hardware ahead of propellant transfer milestones, requiring separate launches and rendezvous capabilities that introduce schedule and technical risks. Trader consensus reflects these sequential hurdles, with rapid reusability progress offset by the absence of demonstrated proximity operations or refueling hardware in flight.
若兩艘 SpaceX Starship 在市場建立後至所列日期 下午11:59 ET 之間,於穩定的地球軌道上成功完成對接操作,本市場將判定為「是」。否則,此市場將判定為「否」。 符合條件的對接操作必須以對接硬體將兩艘速度相匹配的飛行器實際連接成一個結構,並連續維持至少 60 秒。兩艘飛行器必須位於穩定的地球軌道上,且其近地點須高於地球表面至少 100 公里。 任何兩艘 SpaceX 飛行器的對接均符合條件,前提是兩者各自都是整合式火箭與太空船,且規模均不小於 Starship;無論其載荷或型號為何(標準型、加注型、軌道燃料庫、HLS、測試載具等)皆然。兩艘飛行器都必須是在自由飛行狀態。任何完全搭載於另一具獨立運載火箭頂部送入軌道的太空艙或酬載均不符合條件。若其中一艘飛行器是被動地置入另一艘飛行器的對接介面,該次接合不符合條件。 本市場的結算依據將是可信報導所形成的共識。
