Starship • Flight 12

A SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy rocket (collectively referred to as Starship) will launch from Starbase, Texas, on a suborbital flight. This will be the 12th flight of the integrated launch vehicle and the first launch of a version 3 rocket. SpaceX will launch the mission using the Ship 39 upper stage and Booster 19 first stage. SpaceX will not attempt to catch the Super Heavy booster back at the launch site. Ship 39 will deploy 20 Starlink simulator satellites along the suborbital flight path, with two designed to relay imagery of the Starship heat shield upon deployment. Delayed from May 15. Delayed from May 19 and 20. Scrubbed May 21 due to “the hydraulic pin holding the tower arm in place” being unable to retract.
