            • SH11, SH12, SH13, SH14 Parts production.
  • 02-02-2023 De-stacking SH7 for static fire
  • 09-02-2023 Static fire B7. Target: All 33 Raptor engines of Booster 7 run simultaneously. Results: Team turned off one Raptor just before start and  one Raptor stopped itself, so 31 Raptor engines fired overall. Still enough engines to reach orbit.
            • Duration of this static fire test was seven seconds.
            • At 50% thrust (7.9 million lbf of thrust (3,600 metric tons).
            • Despite losing two Raptors, SpaceX still broke the all-time record for the number of rocket engines ignited simultaneously. That record was held by the Soviet N1 rocket, which launched four times with 30 NK-15 engines in the late 1960s and early 1970s. None of its test flights were successful, but N1 still set the record for the most thrust produced by a single rocket, generating up to 4500 tons (9.9M lbf) of thrust at liftoff.
            • Neither SpaceX nor CEO Elon Musk has confirmed it, reducing the odds that Super Heavy Booster 7 broke that historic thrust record. But it certainly could have. Each Raptor 2 engine can generate up to 230 tons (507,000 lbf) of thrust at sea level. Raptor is theoretically designed to throttle as low as 40%, or 92 tons (~200,000 lbf) of thrust. With 33 engines operating nominally at their minimum throttle setting, Super Heavy would have produced 3036 tons (~6.7M lbf) of thrust during today’s static fire – not a record.
  • 19-02-2023 Crew-6 Dragon arrives at LC-39A ahead of flight.
  • 20-02-2023 S26 on suborbital Pad A.
