Currently Playing: Ship 37 Prepares for Static Fire as Booster 13 Returns to Starbase! | Starbase Update

This week at Starbase, it's full steam ahead toward the next Starship launch. Ship 37 is prepping for its static fire campaign with final hardware installed and a road closure scheduled. Meanwhile, Ship 38 is preparing for cryogenic testing, possibly as early as this week, with Massey's now operational again. Over at McGregor, multiple Raptor tests hint at ignition sequence focus—potentially Raptor 3 related. And in a blast from the past, Booster 13 has made its surprise return after its splashdown during Flight 6. SpaceX is inspecting the recovered thrust section, giving us an unprecedented look at submerged Raptor engines. Plus, new Quick Disconnects for Block 3 are installed at Pad 2, and Elon Musk teases a Starship tech update ahead of Flight 10! 🔥 Don’t forget to grab exclusive NSF Starship flight patches and merch from the NSF Store to support our coverage: https://shop.nasaspaceflight.com ⚡ Become a member of NASASpaceflight's channel for exclusive discord access, fast turnaround clips, and other exclusive benefits.
