SpaceX has started preparations for Starship Flight 4 with a series of critical tests, including a Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) to simulate launch day procedures. The WDR involves loading Starship with liquid methane and liquid oxygen and marks a shift in launch pad infrastructure to horizontal cryogenic tanks.

Ship 30 has completed a six-engine static fire, skipping a spin prime test, and will undergo heat shield repairs before moving to the upgraded Orbital Pad B. Ship 26 is

SpaceX is making significant progress in its engine testing campaign and preparations for upcoming flights. Ship 30 has been rolled out for engine tests, featuring interesting additions such as new roll thrusters and a new Liquid Oxygen (LOX) vent. These updates indicate ongoing efforts to improve and refine SpaceX’s rockets.

Booster 13 has completed cryogenic proof testing and features new LOX vents and large baffles in the engine section. This shows SpaceX’s commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.

NASA’s Advisory Council Human Exploration and Operations Committee has provided updates on SpaceX’s Starship system and upcoming missions. The Starship will be used as the landing system for the Artemis III mission, which aims to return humans to the Moon in September 2026. NASA officials are encouraged by SpaceX’s progress and successful tests, including a full-duration burn during ascent and qualification testing of the docking system that will connect the Starship with the crewed Orion capsule.
