+# Starship Flight 12
+
+**Type:** Test flight  
+**Vehicle:** Starship V3 (Ship 39 upper stage, Booster 19 Super Heavy)  
+**Launch Site:** Starbase Pad 2, Boca Chica, Texas  
+**Status:** Pre-launch (static fires complete as of April 2026)  
+**Target Date:** Early May 2026  
+
+## Overview
+
+Starship Flight 12 represents the first flight of the V3 generation Starship and the inaugural launch from SpaceX's second orbital launch pad at Starbase. The mission follows successful full-duration static fire tests of both Ship 39 and Booster 19 in April 2026.
+
+## Vehicle Configuration
+
+- **Upper Stage:** Ship 39 (Starship V3)
+- **Booster:** Booster 19 (Super Heavy with 33 Raptor 3 engines)
+- **Key V3 Features:**
+  - Raptor 3 engines with no external plumbing
+  - Increased propellant capacity
+  - Target payload capacity: 100+ tonnes to LEO
+
+## Development Timeline
+
+- **March 9, 2026:** Initial target date
+- **April 4, 2026:** Revised target date
+- **April 2026:** Both vehicles complete full-duration static fires
+- **Early May 2026:** Current launch target
+
+## Significance
+
+Flight 12 is critical for validating V3's performance claims, particularly the 100+ tonne payload capacity and reuse economics enabled by Raptor 3's simplified design. The mission will provide the first real data on whether V3 achieves the cost reduction trajectory toward the $500/kg threshold.
+
+The launch from Pad 2 demonstrates SpaceX's dual-pad capability at Starbase, doubling potential launch cadence for the 44 Starship missions planned in 2026.
+
+## Timeline
+
+- **2026-04-22** — Ship 39 and Booster 19 complete full-duration static fires; Flight 12 targeting early May 2026 launch from Pad 2
