Starship 20 and Booster 4 Getting Closer to Testing

Now that Ship 20's heat shield is complete, SpaceX will be able to start testing. Testing will most likely start with an ambient test, likely next week. A cryo test will follow. These tests may happen without engines, because the engines are being removed. Also, SpaceX rolled out a thrust simulator.

Booster 4 will also start testing soon. The Orbital Tank Farm is almost complete and had been tested over the past week. A Booster Stand was rolled out, which may indicate that Booster 4 will be removed from the OLS for Mechazilla Catch Arm installation on the launch tower.

Also, the QD Arm, that delivers fuel to Starships, recently was completed with an extension.
