Starship V3 is on the way!
When we hear that, we often think of a bigger, more powerful version of the rocket. But what many people might not know is that V3 will also introduce a major upgrade in the way Starships are built—making the entire system stronger, more efficient, and even more reliable.
This exciting change is all about improving the welding process.
So, how exactly has SpaceX enhanced this important technique?
Let’s find out together in today’s episode of Great SpaceX.

The arrival of the first Starship V3 prototype—designated Ship 39 (S39)—has stirred major excitement among space enthusiasts and industry watchers alike. This excitement is not only driven by the impressive promises of greater height, power, and performance but also by the hope that the V3 design will overcome the limitations and setbacks experienced by its V2 predecessors.
The rollout of S39 has already offered a glimpse into some of these anticipated improvements. One of the first major components spotted was the newly designed liquid oxygen (LOX) header tank, which shows clear upgrades over previous versions. But perhaps the most eye-catching feature so far is S39’s nosecone, which was recently seen inside the Starfactory. While the entire structure hasn’t yet been fully revealed, what’s visible already suggests dramatic changes in design and manufacturing.

Among the most significant updates is a revamped welding method, which has had a remarkable impact on the nosecone’s appearance and durability. Even with stainless steel’s naturally raw finish, the S39 nosecone appears sleek, clean, and seamless—thanks to precise, refined welds. The smoothness and uniformity of these weld lines suggest not only better aesthetics but also stronger structural integrity. This leap in welding quality is a major achievement and a key factor in what makes Starship V3 stand out.
