SpaceX postpones Starship V3 test flight after hydraulic pin issue

On 2026-05-22, SpaceX postponed the 12th uncrewed Starship test flight, the first demonstration of the Starship V3 design, after a hydraulic pin holding the tower arm did not retract. The launch was scheduled from Starbase in South Texas, and the company said it would try again the next day if the issue was fixed.
