SUMMARY:SPACEX STARSHIP INTEGRATED FLIGHT TEST 12 (IFT-12)\, May 21\, 2026\, Starbase\, TX\, 6:30 pm ET
DESCRIPTION:Update\, May 20: The launch is still scheduled for tomorrow\, May 21\, although the weather is only 55% favorable. Hour-and-a-half launch window opens at 5:30 pm CENTRAL time (6:30 pm ET).  Livestream begins 45 minutes before liftoff. \n\nThe 90-minute test window opens at 5:30 p.m. CT with live coverage starting ~45 minutes before liftoff. Weather is currently 55% favorable for liftoff → https://t.co/2gZQUxS6mm \n— SpaceX (@SpaceX) May 21\, 2026 \n\nUpdate\, May 19: The date is now Thursday\, May 21. \nUpdate\, May 17:  The banner on SpaceX’s website as of 3:00 pm today shows the launch on May 20 rather than May 19. The window is open for an hour-and-a-half\, from 18:30-20:00 ET. \n \nOriginal Entry: SpaceX officially said on May 12 that it is targeting May 19 for the 12th Starship Integrated Flight Test (IFT). The launch window opens at 5:30 pm CENTRAL Time (6:30 pm Eastern). A live webcast will begin 30 minutes in advance. \nIt is the first flight of Version 3\, or V3\, a significant upgrade including completely redesigned Raptor engines. \nSpaceX will not attempt to recover the Super Heavy booster on this flight. The “catch” of the enormous booster back at the launch tower by “chopsticks” has been accomplished three times\, but for this test flight of  V3 it will land in the Gulf. \nTest objectives are summarized on SpaceX’s website. \nThe most recent Starship launch — the final launch of the V2 version — was on October 13\, 2025. That flight\, Integrated Test Flight-11 (IFT-11)\, was a second successful mission following three complete or partial failures. All the Starship flights to date are suborbital\, and this flight also will be suborbital. \nSpaceX has a 25 minute YouTube video\, Test Like You Fly\, that shares highs and lows of the past three years of Starship flights.
