SpaceX is preparing for its 12th test flight of the Starship heavy-lift rocket, targeting a new launch window set for 6:30pm ET after a previous attempt was called off at the last minute. The mission aims to evaluate recent hardware improvements and further validate the system's performance under real flight conditions. As part of an iterative development process, each test flight contributes critical data toward achieving full operational capability. The launch will take place from SpaceX’s facility in Texas, where engineers continue to refine the vehicle’s design and launch procedures.
