Problem Solved: SpaceX Ready to Launch New Generation Starship Rocket

Work on the Starship flight, which was postponed due to a hydraulic pin issue, has been completed. The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the flight window for SpaceX's Starship FLT-12 mission for today, May 22. If the launch does not take place today for technical reasons, the next opportunity will be on May 26. This is reported by Ixbt.com .

Earlier, Elon Musk announced that the flight was delayed due to a malfunction in the service tower's hydraulic mechanism. The rocket could not be launched because the pin did not move as expected. Engineers managed to fix this issue within a day, and the system is now ready for the new launch window.

New photos from the SpaceX spaceport show that the Starship Flight 12, considered the world's largest rocket, is ready for launch on the second pad. At the same time, the company released renders of three different ship modifications, demonstrating how it adapts the same base design for various tasks.

According to Elon Musk, a large number of Starship V3 rockets and new generation Super Heavy boosters are currently being assembled simultaneously at the Starbase spaceport. Although the company head did not disclose the exact number of rockets being assembled, he noted that the production rate has increased significantly.
