@SpaceX Other than the tech specs, what is the main benefit of switching to Argon instead of Xenon?

A flapless Ship 26 rolled out to suborbital Pad A for its test campaign. Also, a hydraulic power unit (HPU) was installed onto Booster 7.

In our latest Starbase update we discuss the shielding being added to the orbital launch mount, how close we might be to a launch (finally!), and what is going on with Booster 7’s HPUs. @NASASpaceflight

After an eventful morning, here's the current launch schedule.

Today:
Starlink 6-1 from FL at 1:38 PM EST/18:38 UTC
Starlink 2-7 from CA at 11:34 AM PST/19:34 UTC

Thursday:
Crew-6 from FL at 12:34 AM EST/05:34 UTC

[Thomas Burghardt @TGMetsFan98]

And there's an update on 6-1... still today, but now 6:13 PM EST (23:13 UTC).

The reason is space weather, aka solar activity.

Ship 26 is undergoing another cryo test at Starbase.

The small flame and smoke at the pad is safing of the TEA/TEB systems from what we have observed previously. Not a cause for concern.
