Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay
up to date with everything SpaceX.
Starting this video, we could expect to see another Starlink mission between now and the
Falcon Heavy launch.
The Starlink 4-31 mission is expected to lift off on Friday 28th at 12:30am UTC or Thursday
27th at 8:30pm EDT.
We’ll take a look at the Falcon Heavy launch we can hopefully expect next week as there
is an update.
As you can see on TheSpaceXFans website, the launch of Falcon Heavy USSF-44 is scheduled
for Monday 31st at 1:44pm UTC or 9:44am EDT.
SpaceX posted this super cool picture of all 27 of Falcon Heavy’s Merlin engines as they
assemble the rocket in the hangar.
Polaris posted a Tweet about the Polaris Dawn mission.
They said “Today we announced the extensive suite of science and research experiments
the Polaris Dawn crew will conduct throughout our mission.”
Polaris posted another Tweet but this one related to Starlink.
They said “We’re excited to provide Starlink to over 100 schools in Chile and Brazil, and
the Polaris Dawn crew recently talked to children at the first school in Chile to be connected
as part of this effort!”
There’s an article posted about a delay to the Polaris Dawn mission.
It says “As recently as July, that mission was still scheduled to fly this year, with
a projected launch in December.
By September, though, the launch had quietly slipped to no earlier than March 2023, a date
the Polaris Program confirmed Oct. 24 in an announcement of biomedical experiments it
plans to perform on the five-day flight.”
SpaceX posted a Starlink related Tweet saying “Starlink is now available in Jamaica.”
Heading to Boca Chica, here’s a cool view of the launch site with the active prototypes.
Work has been going on with the suborbital Pad B test mount.
The Booster 7 transport mount was moved back to the production site.
There was recently a Medivac helicopter seen at Starbase for some training.
There was a Raptor engine that was seen moved to the launch site recently.
The Starship 26 nosecone was seen being moved back to the High Bay.
On Monday, SpaceX did full stack cryogenic testing of Booster 7 and Ship 24.
NSF posted this YouTube Short of the test.
Marcus House posted a Tweet asking Musk “Still planning on B7/S24 being the first to launch?
Impressive seeing S25 looking so good already.
It is truly astounding seeing S24, 25 and B7, 8 all at the launch site together.”
Musk responded and said “That’s the plan, unless it is damaged in testing.
What really matters is that ship & booster production line is spooling up.
Also, each new ship & booster has incremental design improvements.”
Taking a look at the road and beach closures on the Cameron County website, most dates
remain the same.
On Monday, SpaceX utilised the road closure for cryo testing of Booster 7 and Ship 24.
Then, the closure on Tuesday was cancelled.
So, as of now, there are possible closures for today, Wednesday 26th, tomorrow, Thursday
27th and Friday 28th.
As of recording this video, the closure for today is already in place with the beach closed.
As always, I have to say thanks to Nic Ansuini for being out there filming the Starbase content.
Plus, I have to say thanks to Jack Beyer for being out there filming the Starbase content
as well.
Also, I have to say thanks to the NASASpaceflight team working behind the scenes on their videos,
livestreams and other space content.
