Overnight Ship 38 was moved back to the Starbase Production Site, where it will go through final preflight operations ahead of Flight 11. We're also now waiting for the Pad 1 Launch Mount to start being reverted back to a launch state for one final time as Flight 11 will be the last time this Launch Mount will be used.

It may be the weekend, but as always, Starbase is still a hive of activity. B15-2 was rolled out to the Launch Site overnight and placed onto the Pad 1 Launch Mount ahead of possible testing during tommorows beach & road closure, which is scheduled for 5AM - 12PM CDT. We also saw a section of the B18.3 test tank head into Mega Bay 1 last night with the second section of it still sitting out in the Ringyard, waiting to go into that bay also. Another big activity of note is the fourth large concrete pour of the Giga Bay foundation, which is currently underway. You can catch all this action plus a whole lot more on the NSF Starbase Live 24/7 livestream on YouTube. Link: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

Another round of testing for the B18.1 tank is currently under the way at the Masseys test site. This is likely the first time that a possible total of a whopping 79 pistons are exterting forces on the test tank during testing. Shout out to Rocket Ranch StarBase for allowing us to have this camera stationed at their Outpost site next to the Rio Grande river. 📷: NSF Starbase Live NSF - NASASpaceflight.com
