SpaceX has rolled Super Heavy Booster 16 to the launch pad at its Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, marking the final major hardware move ahead of Starship Flight 10. Ground crews began installing the flight-termination system earlier this week and cleared Pad 1 to receive the 71-meter booster, which arrived overnight on 21 August. The company is targeting no earlier than 6:30 p.m. Central time on Sunday, 24 August, for the next integrated Starship test. Flight 10 will pair Booster 16 with Starship upper stage 37 in a bid to demonstrate improvements made since the vehicle’s previous attempt. The schedule remains subject to regulatory approval and final checkouts.
