Booster 9 and Booster 10 just passed propellant-loading trials.
SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy Booster 10 prototype undergoes a fueling test at the company's Massey’s Test Facility in South Texas.
The fueling tests are part of SpaceX's campaign to get the two boosters ready for flight. And liftoff could come relatively soon — for Booster 9, anyway. The vehicle is scheduled to conduct the next Starship test flight, which SpaceX founder and CEOThat timeline may be ambitious, however, given the potential regulatory hurdles SpaceX may need to clear.
Starship consists of the Super Heavy booster and a 165-foot-tall upper stage spacecraft known — somewhat confusingly — as Starship. Both elements are designed to be fully and rapidly reusable, and both are powered by SpaceX's powerful new Raptor engine.
