UNDER 1 HOUR UNTIL THE OPENING OF THE WINDOW FOR THE @NASA ARTEMIS II LAUNCH!

Also of note, the closeout crew is now breaking down the seal between the White Room and the vehicle.

STATIC FIRE: Booster 19 fires up, but feels very short and potentially aborted early. However, first time for Pad 2, the first time for V3, and the first time Raptor 3's have fired up together.

Cryoproof operations complete for the first time with a Super Heavy V3 booster. This multi-day campaign tested the booster's redesigned propellant systems and its structural strength

[Starship Gazer @StarshipGazer]

Booster 19 is fully frosty during cryo proof testing tonight at Massey's test site in preparation for Starship test flight 12.

We hit our target (we changed it mid-year) and still aren’t done yet!

Congrats to all that work on the GOAT (rocket 🚀) program 😊

Congrats to the entire @SpaceX team for achieving 165 launches🚀 ! While we originally set out for 170, we actually revised the manifest to 165 this summer based on business and manifest needs. We have two more Falcon launches to go in 2025 for extra credit for a total of 1-6-7 🤣!

Worth noting that SL6-99 was also our last single stick from 39A for some time as we put full focus on Falcon Heavy launches and ramping Starship from the Cape!

New Glenn drifted ~240m horizontally from its furthest point from the ship!
Insane work from the guidance, navigation and control team.

[Gwynne Shotwell @Gwynne_Shotwell]

Magnificent!

Congratulations to the @blueorigin team! Recovering an orbital-class rocket is incredibly hard. Well done! 👏

We as Americans should be very proud of what we are accomplishing in space. 🇺🇸🚀
