Booster 12 was successfully launched on Oct 13, 2024 along with Starship 30 on the Integrated Flight Test 5 (IFT5). Main objective for B12 to be caught by the tower chopsticks was accomplished, returning to Orbital Launch Mount A.


Model details:
This model represents the moment when it was caught by the tower by the chopsticks. Most of the details are well represented, including the damage to one of the chines, showing the COPV inside. Also, one of the Raptors nozzle has a drawing of a pie, in this case for Raptor number 314 (pi).

The file contains one page that is needed to be printed using white sticker paper in case you’ll use the 3D printed Skirt and Raptors.
Also, as requested by many, there are four pages without the frosting markings on the booster.

This Booster model has been updated with a more accurate version of the upper dome as well as the gridfin actuators. Special thanks to Richard Armenta for the wonderful photos of the upper dome changes.
