SpaceX has performed a single-engine static fire test on Ship 40 for the upcoming Starship Flight Test 13. This is an important milestone for the rocket as it integrates the new Raptor 3 engine.


Now, the rocket is moving back to the factory for improvements, and it might return to conduct an all-engine static fire test to verify its full functionality. For now, SpaceX hasn’t announced a launch date, but it could fly somewhere in July if not delayed to August.
