Starbase Update

There is a lot going on at Boca Chica Starbase! On July 13th the cryo tank shell #2 has been rolled out to the launch site, followed by the OLIT segment number 8 one day later. With the extended LR11350 crance, the segment can be stacked on the tower soon.

Last week's booster 3 ambient pressure test was followed by a cryo proof test on July 12th. Furthermore, three Raptor engines (RC57, 59, 62) have now been installed on the booster prototype and a static fire test is expected soon (NET July 15th). An alert notice has been issued for July 14th, but the road closure has been canceled.

Work on Ship 20 appears to speed up with the thrust section being stacked on the leg skirt on July 13th and the nosecone with several design changes being spotted on July 14th.
