We have signed a major supply contract with SINGULUS to create a durable option for advanced solar cell manufacturing to support more than 100 GW of equipment as we accelerate the production of our Starmind satellites in Bastrop, Texas → https://t.co/a9bXuUK6Ti
Super Heavy moved to the launch pad at Starbase. Booster 22 is the first Super Heavy V3 booster planned to return to the launch site for catch and was used for final catch testing upon arrival, including a suspended squeeze test at catch height
@CSI_Starbase@BeeJay682116782 Just could be pressure tests, partial fuel tests and sf if all goes right. And we don't know how it's inside (PEZ dispenser, COPs etc...)
El perfil de misión para el vuelo 15 de Starship.
Verlo desde la península va a ser difícil, pero sobrevolará canarias durante el atardecer, desde allí si que podría verse.
Y reentrará sobre el norte de México para llegar a Starbase desde el noroeste.

Starship is preparing for catch
Flight 15 is targeting to launch as early as Friday, November 13, pending regulatory approval → https://t.co/K5XRci6bnw
We're kicking Moon Base updates into high gear! 🚀
Tune in today at 5 p.m. ET as agency leaders share the latest progress and new developments in our efforts to establish a sustained human presence on the lunar surface. The event will stream live from MAX POWER at @NASAKennedy.
@ErnestCalFab Ya era raro que el raptor 2 y raptor 3 tubieran los mismos numeros, de hecho ses supone que 280 es el limite al que posiblemente vaya en el ascenso, y para hacer boostback/ship y maniobras funcionen a 250T para tener más confianza.
@Truthful_ast Yea it's not bad idea so 500T only need to handle the first 2m and no relights if they do boostback with 13 it's possible 500T but sure gonna be 2T x engine of weight or more I never undesttimate that company
SpaceX will attempt to catch both the Super Heavy booster and Starship on the upcoming flight.
If both are successful, it will mark the first time that all parts of an orbital rocket return to Earth intact.
This is the critical breakthrough needed to make life multiplanetary.
More than a dozen flight tests and years of development, with countless hours worked by SpaceX engineers and technicians, all come down to this: the first orbital Starship launch carrying advanced Starlink satellites bound for space.
