NASA's next crew, including Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts, completed final training at Baikonur Cosmodrome ahead of their launch to the International Space Station on November 27, 2025.
As of October 13, 2025, Starship has completed 11 launches with 6 successes and 5 failures, transitioning to Version 3 prototypes for Flight 12.
SpaceX advanced assembly of Super Heavy Booster 19, completing barrel stacking in 25 days by December 20, 2025, aiming for Flight 12 launch in February-March 2026 timeframe.
SpaceX is preparing Starship Flight 12 for Q1 2026 using Block 3 vehicles, with Super Heavy Booster 19 stacking completed rapidly by end of December 2025 at Starbase.
SpaceX launched the 11th flight test of its Starship-Super Heavy rocket from Starbase, Texas, on October 13, 2025, marking the final mission for Version 2 and Pad A configuration, targeting liftoff at 2315 UTC with Booster B15 and Ship S38.
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.
