SpaceX is targeting a January 2026 launch for Starship Flight 12, with Ship 39 and Booster 18 undergoing cryogenic proof tests and static fire campaigns at Starbase, Texas.
SpaceX is targeting the 11th flight test of its Starship-Super Heavy rocket from Starbase, Texas, on Monday evening at 6:15 p.m. CDT (2315 UTC), marking the final launch of Version 2 and the current Pad A configuration.[1]
During the flight, the Super Heavy booster B15 will use a new engine configuration for its landing burn, starting with 13 middle and center engines then transitioning to five, targeting an offshore splashdown.[1]
Starship upper stage S38 will attempt a sea-level Raptor engine relight during the coast phase to demonstrate deorbit capabilities for future missions, followed by a water landing in the Indian Ocean.[1]
SpaceX plans this as the final Starship launch of 2025, shifting focus to Version 3 development for orbital launches and recoveries, with operations moving to the new Pad B featuring a flame trench.[1]
SpaceX has not conducted a Starship test flight or major Starlink deployment in the past 24 hours; the next Starship launch remains in preparation with no official date announced yet.
Blue Origin has not announced a new New Glenn launch date or mission update in the past day; the rocket remains in final integration and testing phases.
SpaceX scrubbed the planned Starship 11th flight test from Starbase, Texas, due to poor weather; the mission, intended to be the final Version 2 Starship-Super Heavy launch, is now targeting a new date later this week.
