SpaceX Super Heavy booster moving out of the factory for testing

SpaceX has published the first photographs of the Super Heavy Booster 19 and Ship 39 moving out of the Mega Bay factory area for a new round of testing.

Images show that the Starship is assembled with 33 Raptor 3 engines, a key attraction to this test phase. This will be the first time that a Super Heavy is fully assembled with these next-gen Raptor engines.

As of the time of writing this information, the Booster 19 has already reached the launch pad 2 and the Ship 39 at Massey’s test site. The latter has performed cryogenic propellant loading, and both are now preparing for a static fire test.
