SpaceX's Starship will be seeing a series of static fire tests that will ensure that its systems are ready for its next-level launches and its soon mission towards orbit. Baby steps are a need to ensure safety and success for all, with Elon Musk teasing the missions coming in the following weeks, all aiming to center on Starship's engines.

SpaceX Starship Fired its 7 Engines to Success

Elon Musk shared a video via his Twitter page, and it showed a successful static fire test of the 7 engines of the company, centering on the Starship's capabilities and enhanced engine. It is another Booster 7 test that the company did, and it only shows that it is ready for the next level tests for SpaceX's needs for its future ventures.

The video showed how the Starship was able to complete its test without failure, ensuring that no explosions were to happen again or any other problems to occur. It awaits the future launches of the company which will center on more engines to complete the process.

Starship Static Fire Test for All Engines Soon

Musk claimed that Booster 7 will now return to high bay for further upgrades and its time is already done for the tests. With that, the company is now testing its Booster 8 next and it is coming to the pad for its time to deliver on the static fire test.

Further tests are to take place before Musk and SpaceX finally roll out their focus to test all the engines of the Starship, with a static fire test coming in a few weeks. 

SpaceX and Starship's Future

The Booster 7 static fire tests are a big deal to SpaceX and Elon Musk as they previously resulted in an unprecedented explosion for one of the engines of the rocket. Since then, the company has been working to change the narrative and people's expectations of the spacecraft, especially as it aims to reach greater heights outside the planet.

The company quickly solved the issue and it already performed an initial Booster 7 static fire test which saw a successful test from the company last August. It signified that the Starship is ready for its next-level launches for the company which will focus on new heights and better capabilities that its Stainless Steel spacecraft would bring to many.

Musk and the public already await the next flight of the Starship, and it is only a matter of time before its next ventures will see a liftoff from the ground.

SpaceX's Starship is on its way to breaking new ground for the Mars-bound spacecraft, but it would have to break barriers here on Earth before it makes its way to the neighbor planet. The company is expanding its tests and will aim to bring more launches for the Starship in the future, starting with its static fire tests to determine what it is capable of in the present.
