In late January, Musk stated that Starship\u2019s next flight, Flight 12, was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/spacex-starship-v3-gets-launch-date-update-from-elon-musk\/\">expected in about six weeks<\/a>. This placed the expected mission date sometime in March. That estimate aligned with SpaceX\u2019s earlier statement that Starship\u2019s 12th flight test \u201cremains targeted for the first quarter of 2026.\u201d<\/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 flies again next month<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I08L5oaRA4\">pic.twitter.com\/I08L5oaRA4<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/2025352946733490471?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 21, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the vehicle does indeed fly next month, it would mark the debut of Starship V3, the upgraded platform expected to feature the rocket&#8217;s new Raptor V3 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raptor V3 is designed to deliver significantly higher thrust than earlier versions while reducing cost and weight. Starship V3 itself is expected to be optimized for manufacturability, a critical step if SpaceX intends to scale production toward frequent launches for Starlink, lunar missions, and eventually Mars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starship V3 is widely viewed as the version that transitions the program from experimental testing to true operational scaling. Previous iterations have completed multiple integrated flight tests, with mixed outcomes but steady progress. Expectations are high that SpaceX is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/elon-musk-spacex-moon-city-before-mars\/\">working on Starship\u2019s refinement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An aggressive launch schedule supports several priorities at once. It advances Starlink\u2019s next-generation satellite deployment, supports NASA\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.teslarati.com\/starship-update-shows-spacex-will-not-give-up-moon-without-a-fight\/\">lunar ambitions<\/a> under Artemis, and keeps SpaceX on track for its longer-term Moon and Mars objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-shopify-product-shopify-product-block\">\n                <shopify-context type=\"product\"
