Cryogenic proof testing of Ship 25, as well as the combined Booster 7 and Ship 24 stack continued. Meanwhile Ship 26's transfer tube was installed.Video + Photos from Nic (@NicAnsuini), Chris K (@chrisk_91) and Starbase Live for @NASASpaceflight.➡️

Payload processing building getting a delivery today. Looks like its already loaded up with Starlink satellites behind the truck.👀#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
New test tank alert! Overnight, SpaceX stacked a brand new test tank in the Megabay. While we are yet to learn the official name for this test tank, this is the 13th 9m wide test tank that has been produced at Starbase, so we’re calling it Test Tank 13. (1/6)📸: @ChameleonCirIn this video, you can watch the forward and aft sections move into the Megabay, and get stacked with each other. (2/6)📸: @LabPadre @NASASpaceflightIf you have been watching the RGV Starbase Weekly streams, you may recall a test tank forward section inside of the Starfactory. Well, we finally know what it’s for! (3/6)The aft section is reassigned from Ship 28, and has been modified. Most notably, the stringers over the dome weld have been partially cut off. This reverts it to a nearly identical design to S24’s stringer layer. (4/6)📸: @CosmicalChief @RGVaerialphotos @LabPadreDon’t worry about Ship 28 though. There had been signs that a different aft section was reassigned to S28 for a little while, this just finally tells us why we observed this. (5/6)So there we go. A test tank with a Ship Aft due to go onto the Can Crusher should be an interesting sight! Hopefully we see this make it's debut soon. (6/6)
Booster 7 conducted what appeared to be a multi-engine spin prime test. Meanwhile, work on Booster 10 and the Orbital Launch Mount continued.Photos + Video from Nic (@NicAnsuini), Chris K (@chrisk_91), and Starbase Live for @NASASpaceflight.➡️

Several trailer loads of unknown mystery unknowns brought in to the launch site. Didn't catch the tarps coming off, but these seemed interesting. But I'm obviously unsure why.#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
...and up at the #buildsite 2 #Raptor engines were spotted being moved into #HighBay
Future Starship nose cones, lots of domes and equipment in the production yard, Starship 25 in the high bay and lots of barrel sections under construction in the Starfactory.
Over several stormy days at Starbase Ship 25 was moved in the High Bay, a nosecone with TPS tiles rolled out of Tent 3, and the tent at the Orbital Pad was dismantled.Video + Photos from Nic (@NicAnsuini) and Starbase Live for @NASASpaceflight.➡️
