NASASpaceflight - NASASpaceflight (NSF) delivers live rocket launch coverage, breaking spaceflight news, and in-depth reporting from around the world. Now in its 20th year, NSF covers all major players in space: SpaceX, NASA, Blue Origin, ULA and more. From Starship test campaigns at Starbase to crew missions, infrastructure rollouts, and international launches, NSF delivers multi-angle livestreams, on-site reporting, and expert analysis from locations like Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg, Wallops, and Starbase

* A second attempt at launching Starship is tonight Friday May 22nd at 6:30 pm EST - SpaceX's Starship Launch Coverage starts at 5:58 pm EST. This will be a 1 hour and 8 minute flight. Live deployment of satellites begins 20 minutes into flight, re-entry 50 minutes

SpaceX aborted the Starship Flight 12 launch Thursday with just seconds left on the countdown because a hydraulic pin holding the launch tower's quick-disconnect arm in place failed to retract. This meant the arm could not safely disengage from the rocket. This technical glitch along with fuel temperature and pressure fluctuations caused multiple automatic countdown resets. Repeated holds in the final seconds of the countdown forced the launch team into troubleshooting which ultimately caused the propellant tank temperature and pressure readings to rise out of optimal limits forcing an abort - SQD Arm - zoom

It takes about 50 to 90 tanker trucks to completely fill the deluge system tanks at SpaceX's Starbase, assuming typical 6,000 to 12,000-gallon bulk tanker capacities. Cryo trucks also deliver propellant, super cooled methane and liquid oxygen to the launch site, the Tank Farm

Starship's 13th flight test is set for July 16th at 6:45 pm EST - SpaceX

This test flight consists of booster 20 and ship 40. After assembly both were cryo load tested then static fired at SpaceX's Boca Chica Facility in Starbase, TX where Starship is manufactured, built then tested and launched. Ship 40 was tested at their McGregor site and booster 20 was cryo tested and static fired on the launch pad. After testing both they were returned to their Mega Bays getting final checks before being transported to the launch pad for stacking and launch
