Watch First! Caught SpaceX’s MASSIVE New Starlink V3 Train Over Australia!

The very first batch of SpaceX’s massive Starlink V3 satellites just passed over Mackay, Queensland, Australia—and the view was unreal. Filmed in the clear skies over Mackay, this footage captures the freshly deployed 26-satellite Starlink V3 "train" glinting in low Earth orbit just hours after riding into space aboard Starship Flight 14 (Ship 41). 👇 What you are seeing: On September 28, 2026, SpaceX achieved a major milestone: Starship Ship 41 completed its orbital mission and deployed the first operational fleet of next-generation Starlink Version 3 (V3) satellites. Weighing roughly two metric tons each and sporting massive new solar arrays, these satellites provide up to 1 Tbps of downlink capacity—roughly 10x the bandwidth of previous generations. Because they were deployed together at an altitude of approximately 275 km, they travel along the same orbital plane in a tightly grouped line before using their onboard propulsion systems to raise into their operational orbits over the coming weeks. At this early stage, their large reflective surfaces catch sunlight beneath Earth's shadow line, creating this striking "pearl necklace" effect across the night sky. 📍 Location: Mackay, Queensland, Australia 🚀 Mission: SpaceX Starship Flight 14 (Ship 41 + Booster 21) 🛰️ Payload: 26x Starlink V3 Satellites Source:
