An interesting upgrade Raptor 3 246 heading past at McGregor, a new R3 record! Interestingly there is another module on the side of the engine which (to my knowledge) we haven't seen installed on R3's out at McGregor! 📷: NSF - NASASpaceflight.com

@NASASpaceflight Isn't every new one a new record at this point?

@NASASpaceflight 246 setting records already. Wondering if that extra module is a revised plumbing layout they're validating at McGregor before it ships to Starbase. Good spot, hadn't seen that one on the R3s out there either.

@NASASpaceflight Upgrades! everybody, upgrades!

@NASASpaceflight That side module on R3 SN246 looks small. The metal underneath is the unlock. SX500 class alloys keep ox rich plumbing from igniting when hot GOX would eat ordinary steel. Both preburners stay gas phase, burn after burn. @SpaceRhin0 @SpaceX @elonmusk #SpaceX #Raptor #Starship

@NASASpaceflight It's a bottle of nitrous oxide for that extra boost 😜

@NASASpaceflight @mcrs987 Any thaughts?
