In this week’s Starship Update, we break down the latest from SpaceX’s Starbase and Florida operations following Flight 12, now officially classified by the FAA as a mishap after Booster 19’s boostback burn failure. At the production site, Gigabay continues climbing with interior scaffolding and door guides going in, while the Starfactory shows off a unique nosecone already fitted with a hatch.

Ship 41 is fully stacked on the middle workstand in Megabay 2 with aft flaps installed ahead of cryo testing, Booster 21 has received its transfer tube, and four-point lifters are back in action at Sanchez. Post-flight inspections at Pad 2 reveal scaffolding on the orbital launch mount, retracted BQDs with new cover plates, lowered chopsticks, and removed landing rails, while the ASU begins work on its new cooling station.

We also cover Starfall’s FAA Finding of No Significant Impact for point-to-point cargo missions, the Marmac 31 transport barge arriving in Brownsville to haul ring walls to the Cape, a record 420-second Raptor 3 test at McGregor, B18.3’s latest pressure cycles at Massey’s, and steady progress on LC-39A’s service structure cladding and deluge system at the Space Coast.
