One of the chopsticks at Pad 2 got a workout in moving left and right multiple times. Checkout just one of these movements; note how there is very little to no bouncing after stopping. Video is in real time. 📸https://t.co/GXLJIx8VoE | @NASASpaceflight

Starbase This Week (2026-05-31) | Written by @Bastiaan_2 Flight 12 didn't only give us the start signal of the Block 3 era, for SpaceX it was also the start signal for inspections ahead of Flight 13. Welcome to Starbase This Week Launch Site Starting this week off at the Launch Site, we saw this week that scaffolding has returned to the OLM. Therefore we can say again "work on the orbital launch mount continues." The booster quick disconnects have done a slow retraction test to see if they still function after the flight, regarding the OLM, nothing major has been done. This indicates that it held up pretty well during flight 12. This is in stark contrast compared to the old OLM at Pad 1, showing that SpaceX has learned a lot about Starship during their block 1 and 2 era regarding pad refurbishment. On the tower side of things, crews were inspecting the ship's quick disconnect arm as well. Giving it a good look over, compared to the two BQDs, the only protection that the SQD has is swinging away during lift off of Starship. But other than inspections, we have not seen any other work being performed on the arm, also indicating that it is in a good state. The chopsticks came down as well this week. And just like the OLM and SQD arm, it too underwent inspection. However, both the left and right landing rails on the sticks have been removed. This could be because SpaceX saw some damage on the landing rails. But something that is more likely is that SpaceX will replace the landing rails and introduce an improved version for future flights. We will have to wait and see when they reïnstall new or repaired landing rails. Mishap Investigation The FAA has officially opened a mishap investigation for flight 12. While Ship 39 did its job with a soft landing in the Indian Ocean. Booster 19 did experience an anomaly during the boostback burn and landing burn. Seeing the FAA opening an investigation was not really a surprise. Either way, SpaceX has to look at the data and make changes to B20 for the upcoming flight. So we don't think that this investigation will hold up flight 13. Speaking of which, when do you think that will fly? Let us know in the comments. Production Site While B20 is still inside Megabay 1, B21 has received its methane transfer tube, only leaving the liquid oxygen landing tank and the AFT section to be rolled out of the Starfactory to complete the LOx tank of B21. After which SpaceX will start stacking the methane tank to combine the two into a fully stacked booster. And on the ship side of things, S41 has been fully stacked and moved over to the middle stand inside of MB2 for further processing. Including installing the AFT flaps which one of them, being the right AFT flap, has already been installed. Marmac 31 Arrival With Marmac 31 having arrived at the port of Brownsville, we can expect to see a booster and or a ship transport stand being moved soon. While no booster or ship is ready to being transported over to the Cape, having both a booster and or ship transport stands ready at the Cape in the meantime will help a lot with the eventual arrival of vehicles. Road delays have already been posted on the Starbase website "Description: Huddleston to Port" for "Date: May 31 11:59 PM to June 1 4:00 AM". So tune in for next weeks SBTW for an update. Massey's Massey's saw a few transports this week as the ship cryo stand has rolled to Massey's to the ship truss structure. With S41 just being fully stacked, we don't expect any ships there for cryo anytime soon. But the ship cryo stand wasn't the only one to roll this week as the booster cryo stand rolled to the Production Site. Hopefully we see B20 rolling for its cryo test campaign ahead of flight 13. And remember COPVs, more of them have been spotted going to Massey's again after a long hiatus. Good to see them being tested at Massey's, although that doesn't mean that they weren't tested at all. Don't need more S36 events. And finishing off the week with B18.3. It was tested again this week. With B19s flight in the past, SpaceX can test changes being made to the boosters forward section with this test tank. So we can expect more testing of B18.3 as SpaceX learns more from flight 12. With that out of the way, when do you think B20 will roll out for cryo? Let us know in the comments and we will see you next week for another Starship this Week.
