SpaceX has moved his spaceship ship to the start pad to test before the 10th flight of the vehicle, which is expected to take place in the next month by the Starbase location of the company in South Texas.
SpaceX announced the milestone on Monday evening (July 28th) in a post on X, which recorded the journey of the 171-foot-high accommodation of the surface in four photos.
SpaceX has not announced the target date for flight 10, but it could happen soon: On July 14th, the founder and CEO of the company, Elon Musk, said the upswing in “about three weeks”. On Monday he presented an updated but vague prediction: “next month”.

SpaceX develops spaceship – the largest and most powerful rocket that has ever been built to help humanity colonize Mars and to perform a number of other ambitious exploration services.
The 400 -foot vehicle consists of two elements, both of which consist of stainless steel and are fully reusable: a huge booster called Super Heavy and a spaceship in the upper stage, which is known as a starship or “ship” for short.
The ship, which has just moved to the pad, is prepared for the second SpaceX for flight 10. The first exploded on a test stand at Starbase on June 18, while he has prepared for a static fire, a joint temporary attempt in which the engines of a rocket are briefly ignited while the vehicle remains anchored on the ground.
The company quickly stated the likely cause of this “quick unscheduled disassembly” – the failure of a nitrogen tanks under pressure near the ship’s nose.

All eyes are directed on the ship during the flight 10, because the upper stage had some problems: SpaceX lost the vehicle to the last three Starship flights that took place last January, March and May.
Super Heavy, on the other hand, successfully Ahmte both flight 7 and flight 8 and then returned to Starbase to find a catch from the “Chopstick arms” of the starting tower.
SpaceX has not tried such a hook on flight 9, but tried to bring the booster in the Gulf of Mexico back for a splashdown. That didn’t quite happen; Super heaviness broke shortly after the beginning of his landing fire.
