NSF - NASASpaceflight.com A few hours later the Ship... QD support assembly was transported for storage at Sanchez, a promising sign that SpaceX has completed ship testing ahead of flight 10. Stay tuned to NSF - NASASpaceflight.com and Starbase Live as we continue to count down to the launchshow more

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.comshow more

The B18.3 test tank has been lifted onto the... original Can Crusher test stand in Mega Bay 1 ahead of what will likely be a roll out to the Masseys test site for testing there. As always, be sure to tune into NSF Starbase Live for more action like this. Link: NSF - NASASpaceflight.comshow more

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.comshow more

STARBASE PAD 1 SHIP QUICK DISCONNECT ARM REMOVAL The... Buckner-owned Liebherr LR11000 crawler crane is currently being hooked up to the Quick Disconnect (QD) unit housed in the second half of the Starbase Pad 1 Ship Quick Disconnect (SQD) Arm ahead of removal! This is being done because that whole half of the arm needs to be replaced with one of the same design used at Pad 2 and the LC-39A Starship pad over in Florida! NSF - NASASpaceflight.com |show more

Wow, this might be the first full speed retraction... test of the hold down clamps, booster QD's and the ship QD arm in the top right corner. The initial speed of that QD arm is impressive. May have to do some comparisons with Pad 1 system later. 🎥: NSF - NASASpaceflight.comshow more
