After what seems to be a successful static fire Monday afternoon of the three Raptor engines. SpaceX is getting ready for another Starship flight of the upgraded SN15.<\/p>\n

Back on April 8th, Starship SN15 rolled out to the launch site to begin its testing campaign. The newest test vehicle includes several internal improvements from previous versions, which is why we didn\u2019t see SN12-14 be built. After its arrival, it conducted pressure testing and thrust simulation testing using a hydraulic ram placed underneath it.<\/p>\n

Back on April 16th, Raptor engines began arriving at the test site to be installed on SN15\u2019s undercarriage. This brought us to yesterday\u2019s brief static fire shortly after ULA\u2019s Delta IV Heavy launch. This was confirmed to be a good static fire by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk when he shared that the flight of SN15 will be coming later this week.<\/p>\n
