In the first test, which took place on July 12, the booster exploded at the Boca Chica spaceport in Texas.

US entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX has successfully completed a static fire test of its Booster 7, a month after the previous attempt ended in a bang. This was reported by Engadget.

This time, the team fired only one Raptor engine on the orbital launch pad, running it for a few seconds so engineers could get a closer look at its performance.

It is noted that the Booster 7 booster is equipped with 33 version 2 Raptor engines, which should provide the lift necessary to launch both the very first stage and its upper stage, the Starship spacecraft.

In addition to testing Booster 7, SpaceX also conducted a static fire test of two of the six Raptor engines on Starship24. It is an upper-stage prototype, and it will fly into space for the system’s first orbital flight test.

However, the Starship’s orbital launch date is still unknown.

It was earlier reported that SpaceX successfully launched a Falcon 9 launch vehicle with another batch of 52 mini-satellites.
