This suggests that the first flight of Starship Version 3 and its new Raptor V3 engines could happen as early as March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/elonmusk\/status\/2015657360253960418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">post on X<\/a>, Elon Musk stated that the next Starship launch is in six weeks. He accompanied his announcement with a photo that seemed to have been taken when Starship\u2019s upper stage was just about to separate from the Super Heavy Booster. Musk did not state whether SpaceX will attempt to catch the Super Heavy Booster during the upcoming flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Starship launch in 6 weeks <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3HFf4H5cc4\">pic.twitter.com\/3HFf4H5cc4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/2015657360253960418?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming flight will mark the debut of Starship V3. The upgraded design includes the new Raptor V3 engine, which is expected to have nearly twice the thrust of the original Raptor 1, at a fraction of the cost and with significantly reduced weight. The Starship V3 platform is also expected to be optimized for manufacturability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-maintains-unbelievable-starship-target-despite-booster-18-incident\/\">Starship V3 Flight 12 launch<\/a> timeline comes as SpaceX pursues an aggressive development cadence for the fully reusable launch system.

Way back in late November, SpaceX noted on X that it will be aiming to launch Starship V3\u2019s maiden flight in the first quarter of 2026. This was despite setbacks like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-starship-program-already-bouncing-back-booster-18-fiasco\/\">structural anomaly<\/a> on the first V3 booster during
