Starship and super heavy booster checks static fire for test flight 3

SpaceX today conducted static fire engine burns to prepare the Starship and super heavy booster ahead of the integrated test flight 3.

The super heavy booster conducted a static fire with its 33 Raptor engines. On the other hand, the Starship demonstrated its flight-like engine start during the hot staging and also the space burn.

The latest engine fire tests are part of SpaceX’s preparation for the third test flight. Compared to test 1 and test 2, SpaceX is now moving faster in launch preps including static burn.
