Another day, another test for Starship Superheavy Booster 19. Following yesterday's spin prime test, today teams performed a ignitor test on the raptor engines. Next up should be a static fire test, hopefully as soon as tomorrow.

After the question came up during a recent NASASpaceflight livestream, a side by side comparison of the propellant loading on SpaceX's Falcon 9 vs Starship Super Heavy. While fill rates look similar visually, in terms of tank capacity it is approximately 450t vs 5000t

Booster 19 is to be used for Starship Flight 12, together with its mate, Starship 39. Watch as the Super Heavy booster undergoes testing on the new Orbital Pad 2. Booster 19 and Ship 39 will be the first Starship v3 hardware to fly, and the first to use Raptor 3 engines.

Both Booster 19 and Ship 39 are undergoing full engine testing at Pad 2 and Massey's, respectively. The duo is working through the usual sequence of tests, culminating in the full engine static fire milestones ahead of Flight 12.

A very busy day of testing at Starbase today ahead of Flight 12.
Over at the launch site, B19 underwent a potential spin prime test, before detanking. With closures in the coming days, hopefully we will see a 33 engine static fire test soon.

The NASASpaceflight Space Coast Live cameras spotted some surprise visitors at the Kennedy Space Center, as the Blue Angels did a flyby of Launch Complex 39A and 39B.

The damaged roof of Blue Origin's 2CAT facility can be seen in an UMBRA SAR satellite image taken on 2026-04-11 02:44:16 UTC.

The second picture, from 2026-01-26, shows 2CAT from a different angle and an intact roof more than two months before the incident.

As SpaceX continues to prepare for Flight 12 of Starship, Ship 39 headed back to Massey's overnight, this time with its engines, for its static fire testing campaign, hopefully in the coming days.
