Information

SpaceX is developing historic LC-39A for use by the Starship launch vehicle alongside its Falcon launch pad. First Starship-related work in Florida began in 2019. Shortly after, Florida Starship work was paused and all operations were moved to Starbase, TX. In 2023, SpaceX resumed work at LC-39A for Starship. This included a launch tower and the beginnings of a launch mount. As Starship flew its first test flights, plans for the launch mount changed and work paused once again at LC-39A. In 2025, work continued with the launch mount transitioning to a new design. SpaceX are also planning to build a single catch-only tower alongside the launch tower. Works for Starship in Florida are currently in development with the first launch from LC-39A expected no earlier than mid-2026.
