SpaceX launched Starship Flight Test 12 on May 22, 2026, from the new Pad 2 at Starbase, Texas, marking the debut of the fully redesigned V3 vehicles, Raptor 3 engines, and first use of Block 3 hardware on both booster and ship. The test included deployment of modified Starlink V3 simulators for in-space heat shield imaging and structural stress maneuvers during reentry. A first attempt was scrubbed on May 21 due to a hydraulic pin issue on the tower arm, but the second window opened with favorable weather. Early results showed a successful liftoff, hot staging, payload release, reentry heating management, and ship splashdown on two engines, though the booster experienced a boostback burn anomaly and one ship Raptor vacuum engine underperformed. This flight validates key upgrades aimed at rapid reusability ahead of future orbital and crewed missions.

The test included deployment of modified Starlink V3 simulators for in-space heat shield imaging and structural stress maneuvers during reentry. A first attempt was scrubbed on May 21 due to a hydraulic pin issue on the tower arm, but the second window opened with favorable weather. Early results showed a successful liftoff, hot staging, payload release, reentry heating management, and ship splashdown on two engines, though the booster experienced a boostback burn anomaly and one ship Raptor vacuum engine underperformed. This flight validates key upgrades aimed at rapid reusability ahead of future orbital and crewed missions.

If the rocket does not lift off the pad, it will not be considered the twelfth launch, and this market will stay open until the twelfth launch has occurred. If the twelfth launch has not occurred by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".
The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.This market will resolve to "Yes" if the booster for the twelfth Starship-SuperHeavy test is successfully caught by the chopsticks on the Orbital Launch Tower during its landing attempt. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The resolution source for this market will be official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.SpaceX launched Starship Flight Test 12 on May 22, 2026, from the new Pad 2 at Starbase, Texas, marking the debut of the fully redesigned V3 vehicles, Raptor 3 engines, and first use of Block 3 hardware on both booster and ship. The test included deployment of modified Starlink V3 simulators for in-space heat shield imaging and structural stress maneuvers during reentry. A first attempt was scrubbed on May 21 due to a hydraulic pin issue on the tower arm, but the second window opened with favorable weather. Early results showed a successful liftoff, hot staging, payload release, reentry heating management, and ship splashdown on two engines, though the booster experienced a boostback burn anomaly and one ship Raptor vacuum engine underperformed. This flight validates key upgrades aimed at rapid reusability ahead of future orbital and crewed missions.
If the 12th SpaceX Starship successfully launches from its launch pad by November 30, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Yes”. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.”
The outcome of any launch will be corroborated by examining official video provided by SpaceX (https://www.youtube.com/c/SpaceX), as well as secondary video feeds and/or written reports if necessary.
Any subsequent anomaly (e.g., an explosion) after the launch will have no bearing on the outcome. Any name change of the Starship with another vehicle will have no bearing on the outcome of the market.
