Seeing Randy, Luca, Frank, and Andre in their OCSS’ makes it all real.

Godspeed, gents!

Impressive top down photo of the Pad 2 launch mount from @RGVaerialphotos it looks great after the first launch of flight 12 moving the quick disconnects to the other side means they are out of direct blow torch flames from the 33 raptor 3 engines. However you can see scorch marks and two distinct ring shapes in the bottom left. It appears changes have already been made to the watercooled pancake for Pad 1 for more water to flow out in this area

Big tank. Big tests. Big milestone.

Nova Stage 1 proto-qualification is complete.
46 structural objectives verified, plus key fluid systems, avionics, software, ground systems, and ops demos. (More detail in our linked blog post.)

This is where new rockets often find the hard stuff; Nova (and the Stoke team) handled it. Our local partners at the @PORTOFMOSESLAKE , the Grant County Sheriff's Office and Public Works department, plus our vendor Norco made sure we had the support we needed every step of the way.

Some LC-36 updates. Now that we’ve had access to the pad and integration facility we can share a bit of good news. The propellant farm, oxygen, liquid hydrogen and LNG tanks are all in good shape. This is good luck because these are very long lead items. The water tower is also good. The big support tower is damaged, but it can be repaired in place rather than torn down and replaced. The booster “Never Tell Me The Odds” and the three GS-2s that were onsite in the integration facility also look good.

I’ve seen some speculation that we might move directly to the 9x4 configuration, but we won’t do that. Rate manufacturing of 7x2 is going well, and we’re going to continue that at pace as planned and store the stages for use. In addition, we had already been working for some time on eliminating our transporter-erector in favor of an alternative vertical conop, and we’ll now go directly to that; so we don’t need a new transporter-erector.

We will fly again before the end of this year. Gradatim Ferociter.

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

Liftoff of Starship

Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on the twelfth flight test of Starship!

[Blue Origin @blueorigin]

The FAA has approved our NG-3 report, and corrective measures have been implemented. Prior to our second GS2 burn, we experienced an off-nominal thermal condition, and, as a result, one of the BE-3U engines didn't achieve full thrust to reach our target orbit.

NG-4 preparations continue—updates coming soon.

It Is Time Go. 👍

- Starship Flight 12.
- Ship 39 — first V3 spacecraft.
- Booster 19 — first V3 Super Heavy.
- First launch from Pad 2.

Today is the first launch attempt of a V3 Starship

The people that make it happen.

Starship attempts to conquer the sky tomorrow - weather forecast is predicted 55% favorable when the launch window opens at 5:30p CDT.

These vehicles are the first of many – made possible by the tireless effort of SpaceX engineers and technicians – and are designed to enable the core revolutionary capabilities of Starship
