tater Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Static fire attempt on SN20 soonish. Prop loading going on right now. Sound off, unless you want to hear the godawful patter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tater Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 6 engine preburner test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Looked like a preburner test. No immediate detank, so static fire next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tater Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 is that a fire, or a siren light thing? Likely more since no depress vent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Siren heard now! S20 is also very frosty now Edited November 12, 2021 by Beccab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealKerbal3x Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Static fire! Not sure how many engines, but they still don't seem to be detanking. Round 3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beccab Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Detanking - chances are the S20 testing campaign is now over. B4 time, and then full stack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, I assume ground test firing is worse on the tiles than actual ignition of (just three?) raptors when staging. So if they can figure out how to keep those tiles on during ground firing. I'd say survival during re-entry might actually work.... if it gets that far haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
