SpaceX has offered it most dramatic view yet of a space vehicle's engine test, placing a camera directly above the blast.
Rocket builders need to conduct multiple static fire tests of their boosters before they can send them into space for the first time.
SpaceX has been testing the engines on its next-generation Starship spacecraft that will sit atop the mighty Super Heavy rocket when it takes its first orbital flight in the coming months. We’re assuming the camera was attached to a drone flying overhead, though SpaceX doesn’t confirm this in its tweet sharing the video.
STATIC FIRE! Ship 24 fires up as testing resumes for the test flight. Looked like a single engine firing. SpaceX chief Elon Musk also released some equally awesome footage a couple of months ago showing a static fire test of seven of the Super Heavy’s 33 Raptor engines. When the Super Heavy lifts off on its maiden test flight in the coming months, it will be the most powerful rocket ever to have launched.
