The business is now working in Texas on the Starship next-generation launch vehicle platform. The rocket’s first stage booster and upper stage spaceship make up the rocket. In a more careful manner in response to a significant mishap last month that threatened to harm the 33 engines located on the launch, SpaceX tested both of its engines using a static fire test. The tests were conducted shortly after SpaceX had sent its Booster 7 prototype to the launch pad and examined all of its engines and other parts in the wake of a significant explosion. When the firm tested the engine pumps, a fuel-rich air combination resulted in a thunderous explosion that sent shockwaves across the area. The static burn was successful, as shown on eyewitness video, and SpaceX kept true to its motto of moving quickly by testing the Booster 7’s engines just days after bringing it from its testing facility.

SpaceX still has to test all of the engines on both spacecraft after the most recent testing run before it is ready for an orbital flight test. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has now granted the business permission to perform low-level test flights, although it is unclear if Booster 7 will first undergo a less risky sub-orbital test.
