After stacking over the weekend teams at Starbase performed a partial tanking test on Starship B12& S30 full stack. It remains to be seen what other testing SpaceX plans to perform while the Flight 5 vehicles are at the pad.

Starship Flight 5 conducts full stack testing ahead of launch. There is still a potential full WDR to complete, but that is usually closer to the launch date, which is still some time away at present.

SpaceX engineers have spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt on Flight 5, with technicians pouring tens of thousands of hours into building the infrastructure to maximize our chances for success

Nine days after being stacked, and undergoing a partial full stack tanking test, Starship S30 has been de-stacked from atop B12. It remains to be seen what SpaceX plans next, as preparations for flight 5 continue.

I must have been just walking upstairs to bed as this happened! 🫤 B12's HSR has been removed.

A crew lift went up to the top of B12 around 1am and has been there ever since. Looks like SpaceX needed access to the top of the booster. Maybe an issue with the grid fin motors?

With S334 being visable in E1 we finally have the full set of raptors known/SL locations!
R334 (Or SN334??) was previously used as a demo just beofore it would have been installed, hence it already having its tvc arms.

BREAKING: US Coast Guard documentation indicates a NET Launch Date of @SpaceX's Starship Flight 5 of October 12, between 07:00 and 08:10 local time.

This is ~6 weeks earlier than what had previously been said publicly by @SpaceX and the @FAANews.

This is a Notice To Mariners (NOTMAR), and is just a warning to to "mariners operating offshore". This has nothing to do with a launch licence.

Link to the notice →

I've heard chatter that an earlier Starship launch is possible, including some time in October. But nothing is finalized.

We asked the @FAANews about today´s published NOTMARs for Starship Flight 5.

The FAA confirmed that the statement from September 11, still stands, and Starship Flight 5 is not expected before late November.
