Starbase: present vehicles<\/h2>\n

Following a successful Booster 7 cryogenic proof test on the orbital launch mount during the previous week, the vehicle was moved to the structural test stand. This is also known as the \u201ccan crusher\u201d and is designed to simulate the thrust of the engines if they were installed.<\/p>\n

Booster 7\u2019s test campaign on the structural test stand began with an ambient pressure test on Tuesday. This is where the vehicle is filled with gaseous nitrogen at an ambient temperature. The test appeared to be complete without any noticeable signs of failure.<\/p>\n
