SpaceX Starship Updates! Booster 7 Rolled Back for Orbital Flight Preparations! TheSpaceXShow

Hello, we are TheSpaceXFans and welcome to TheSpaceXShow, the place where you can stay up to date with everything related to SpaceX. Starting the video today, SpaceX launched another Starlink mission with the liftoff of Starlink 4-35. [SpaceX commenter: “One. Switched on. And takeoff from Starlink 4-35. Go Falcon 9.”] The

booster

that launched this mission, B1073, successfully landed for the fourth time on the A Shortfall Of Gravitas drone. [SpaceX commenter: “And its next major activity will be landing. Stage 2 is in terminal orientation. Stage 1 landing burn. With the start of a single Merlin engine, we will see the deployment of the landing leg shortly.

But also keep an eye out for the second stage motor stopping. Stage 1 landing leg deployment. DRY. Confirmed landing of stage 1. So, with those two calls and a big shot from the unmanned spacecraft, we have confirmation of our second stage in nominal orbit. And our Falcon 9 first stage touched down, marking the 143rd landing of an

orbital

-class rocket. This marks our 43rd launch in 2022.”] Elon Musk posted a Starlink-related Tweet that said “Starlink connects schools in the Amazon.” NASA posted a Tweet saying, "Our next commercial crew launch to the space station is scheduled to lift off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center no earlier than Monday, October 3." An article was published related to information we discovered about Saudi Arabia signing a deal with Axiom for astronauts to launch with SpaceX.

It says: "Saudi Arabia's mission to the International Space Station next year aboard a SpaceX capsule will include a woman who would become the world's first Arab female astronaut, according to Axiom Space." There was a Teslarati article with news of SpaceX getting more launch contracts. It says: “SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket has landed three new geostationary satellite launch contracts from South Korea and the Middle East. The three contracts, two from Arabsat and one from KT SAT, build on successful relationships SpaceX has already established with both companies.” On the way to Boca Chica, the chopsticks were recently lifted and wrapped around Booster 7.

A newly installed water deluge system on the

orbital

launch stand was tested for 6 minutes. Crews were seen working on expanding a building in the production yard. Work was recently spotted installing this payload bay cover on Ship 24. Starship Gazer posted a Tweet with images of the work on Starship 24. It said: “A new cover was placed over the Starlink V2 PEZ door on S24 this morning. Note the newly drilled holes in the old PEZ door in photos 2 and 3. They appear to be pressure equalization holes, which means this new cover will be permanently welded in place.” The Starlink dispensing mechanism was installed in the payload section of Starship 27.

During the week, Booster 7 was lifted off the orbital mount and placed on the transport platform. The propellant was then returned to the production site. It was also moved to Mega Bay upon arrival. SpaceX released these incredible drone images of Booster 7 returning to the launch site. They said: "Booster 7 was transported

back

to the Starship factory for pre-

flight

robustness upgrades." As always, I have to thank Nic Ansuini for being there filming the Starbase content in this video. Also, thanks to the NASASpace
