SpaceX's Starship 37 (Ship 37) has completed multiple static fire tests in preparation for the upcoming Starship Flight 10, currently targeting a mid-August launch window. The spacecraft successfully conducted a full-duration six-engine static fire on the modified orbital launch mount (Pad 1), marking the first Starship static fire on this newly adapted pad. Following the test, Ship 37 was removed from Pad 1 and returned to Mega Bay 2 for final launch preparations. However, an engine swap, specifically replacing a Raptor Vacuum engine, necessitated additional testing. Consequently, the static fire adapter was reinstalled on Pad 1, and Ship 37 is expected to return for further static fire or engine spin prime tests. The booster for Flight 10, Booster 16, has been rolled out from Mega Bay 1 and is currently stored in the Rocket Garden, awaiting final integration. Documentation and local notices indicate a tentative launch date around August 17, though this may be delayed due to the required retesting of Ship 37. The previous Flight 9 failure has influenced the likely suborbital trajectory planned for Flight 10. Preparations at Starbase continue actively, including modifications to Pad 1 to accommodate the static fire tests and upcoming booster stacking operations.
Booster 16 has moved to the Starbase rocket garden joining Booster 17, Booster 12 and Starship 20. 8/6/25 https://t.co/gVGoEuVmKT
B16, the Flight-10 booster, has emerged from Megabay, looking flight ready. With the launch pad currently being readied for a probable 3rd static fire of S37, B16 is being stored in the Rocket Garden until needed. https://t.co/a2xl7CGMZx
SPACEX: Newly posted LNM (Local Notice to Mariners) shows Flight 10 is currently targeting August 17th. High probability the date will be pushed back. Ship 37 needs to undergo another static fire. https://t.co/4skqLq1K6y
