SpaceX Targets Starship Flight 12 for Early March, with Elon Musk revealing on X: “Starship launch in 6 weeks”

The upcoming Flight 12 will feature Booster 19 and Ship 39, marking the first use of flight-proven Raptor 3 engines that pack 280 metric tons of thrust each—1.5 times stronger than early versions while weighing less.

After 11 flights in 2025 testing reusability and refueling, teams have pushed through Pad 2 upgrades, cryo tests, and static fires.
