SpaceX has rapidly progressed through testing Ship 28 and Booster 10 in preparation for the third Integrated Flight Test (IFT 3). Ship 28 underwent engine firing tests, cryogenic tests, and a spin prime test, demonstrating the company's commitment to a swift turnaround. Booster 10 also underwent tests, including a partial fill of propellant tanks ahead of a potential static fire, although some issues during testing led to a longer hold. Both prototypes underwent successful static fires today, signaling their readiness for the upcoming launch. Today’s test included a single engine test for ship 28 and 33 engines for booster 10.
The quick turnaround time is a testament to SpaceX's efficiency, but it's essential to note that Ship 28 and Booster 10 were already built and flight-ready before Orbital Flight Test 2 (OFT 2). Unlike the first orbital launch, regulatory delays may not pose a significant obstacle this time, as the FAA only needs to review SpaceX's mishap report from OFT 2. This streamlined process suggests that the launch timeline for OFT 3 could proceed more smoothly.
