Starship moved to the launch site at Starbase for preflight testing
Now targeting Tuesday, July 29 for a static fire of the Crew-11 Falcon 9 rocket. Today’s test auto-aborted at T-57 seconds due to an error with the transporter erector’s cradle arm position indication. The arm functioned correctly and teams are reviewing data. Falcon 9 and Dragon…
Following these activities, SpaceX was set to perform a static fire of Falcon 9 first stage B1094-3 on the pad, but the attempt was aborted shortly before the planned ignition. It's unclear what caused this abort and whether it'll have any affect on the targeted launchdate.
