SpaceX has positioned the converted Starship Transport Stand, now designated as the Static Fire Stand, atop the Orbital Launch Mount in preparation for an upcoming static fire test of Starship 37. This step advances the schedule toward the tenth Starship test flight. The launch mount static fire adapter, also referred to as the adapter ring, was lifted into place on July 18, 2025, at the Starbase facility. Additionally, new hardware deliveries, including what is likely the Liquid Oxygen BQD hood for Pad-2, have been observed at the site. These developments mark progress in SpaceX's efforts to conduct a static fire test campaign that has been described as highly impromptu. Concurrently, activity continues at Giga Texas with vehicle loading and preparations for parts shipment to Giga Nevada.
Let the most impromptu static fire test campaign in the history of #Starbase commence with this moment. https://t.co/UlZPetBZGj
