Ship 39 Fully Stacked! | Booster 18 Testing Imminent | Starbase Update
The first version 3 Starship is finally taking shape. This week, SpaceX fully stacked Ship 39, completed major work on the next-gen engine section, and began clearing the path for Booster 18’s first tests—all while Pad 2 prepares for full activation.At McGregor, a Raptor 3 engine suffered a dramatic failure on ignition, raising new questions as SpaceX’s test cadence slows. Does this mean the company already has the full set of engines for Flight 12, the first Starship Version 3 mission?
Meanwhile at Starbase, teams moved both the ship and booster thrust simulators back to the Production Site, scrapped older hardware, advanced work on Ships 40–45, made progress on Pad 2’s deluge and QD systems, and continued the demolition of Pad 1’s original Starship pad.
On the Space Coast, SpaceX is installing hardware at LC-39A’s Starship mount, moving new components into place, and assembling cranes for the enormous Giga Bay. And we’re still waiting on the final approval for the SLC-37 Starship site.
We’ll break down every change, every test, and every signal pointing toward the first Version 3 launch.
