S24-B7 stacked on the OLM last night. Now test article ship aft - booster fwd for interstage testing stacked at the Sanchez test area. @RingWatchers#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
Ship nosecones over at tent 3, with the WAI cam putting in the work.S27, S28, S29 in case anyone was keeping score.#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
Tent 2 seems to be where it's all happening latley. Got S26 aft, with a new downcomer. S28 aft in front & S26 aft to the rear. And then S27 common.#Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
Always cool to see more design revisions occur. For example, the visible piece of the LOX header tank downcomer on the S26 aft has had more stiffening pieces added, it looks to have been lengthened a bit, and the top is more dome-like. Nothing super major, but always improving!
Well we had hoped this wouldn't happen so soon... but it seems that at least some sleeving operations have transitioned into the Starfactory.📸: @RGVaerialphotos @CosmicalChief @NicAnsuini @BocaChicaGal
Roll-out days at Starbase are always super busy now. Anytime something leaves the Highbay or Megabay, the next ship/booster gets to stacking. Today is no exception. S27 nosecone in transit. Payload section is moving as well.
Nosecone 28 for ship 27 out of the lowbay and headed over to the highbay. #Starbase #Starship #SpaceX 📸 Me for WAI Media @FelixSchlang
