SpaceX launched its 12th Starship test flight from Texas on Friday, marking the debut of the upgraded Starship V3.

The new vehicle features enhanced Raptor 3 engines and a redesigned heat shield, key for future Starlink launches and NASA lunar missions.

No landing attempt was planned; both stages will splash down in the ocean after controlled descents.

The test is closely watched ahead of SpaceX's upcoming IPO, which could be the largest in history.
