SpaceX
Earlier today, Booster 15 successfully conducted a static fire at Starbase, Texas...paving the way for SpaceX's eleventh flight test of Starship Super Heavy that's currently scheduled for next month.
Booster 15 is now designated as Booster 15-2, since it last flew on Integrated Flight Test 8 six months ago. That demonstration obviously saw Booster 15 being successfully caught by the mechazilla arms of Starbase's first Orbital Launch Tower, but ended with the demise of Ship 34 over the Caribbean Sea.
Next up to be tested for Integrated Flight Test 11 is Ship 38—which will undergo its own static fire in a few weeks.
SpaceX has fired up B15-2 for the first time since it was caught by the chopsticks on Flight 8, for what appeared to be a successful full duration Static Fire. This should be one of the final milestones for the booster ahead of Flight 11@NASASpaceflight https://t.co/HLH1kzZM2f pic.twitter.com/8WleNrgVsD
