​​​​​​​BREAKING: Starship Flight 12 NET May 12, 22:30 UTC / 17:30 CDT

An advisory has appeared on the CADENA Operational Information System.

- NEW Trajectory
- Afternoon Launch Window

The window spans 22:30 - 00:43 UTC, which is 17:30 - 19:43 Starbase local time.

Instead of flying the corridor between Florida and Cuba, Starship Flight 12 appears to be targeting a more inclined corridor, threading the needle between Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, Cuba, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic.

Despite this change in launch trajectory, splashdown remains in the Indian Ocean, with a corridor running through Madagascan, Mauritian, and Australian airspace.
