Starship V3 Debut Set for Flight 12, with a 6:30 PM Liftoff Window

SpaceX is targeting May 21, 6:30 p.m. EDT for Flight 12 of Starship—the first mission for the Version 3 upgrade—from Starbase, Texas. The 1.5-hour launch window will feature a suborbital test with Ship 39 on Booster 19, splashdowns at sea, and the deployment of 20 dummy Starlink satellites to validate upgraded systems as NASA's Artemis program looms; the flight follows a wet dress rehearsal and recent schedule changes plus Starbase road closures.
