SpaceX completes Super Heavy V3 test

SpaceX has completed its initial activation campaign for the Super Heavy V3 and Starbase Pad 2, finalizing several days of testing that involved loading cryogenic fuel and oxidizer onto the V3 vehicle for the first time.

The process included a 10-engine static fire test that ended prematurely due to a ground-side issue, but the company reported successful systems checks during the campaign. This marks a notable step forward in the development of SpaceX's next-generation launch infrastructure and vehicle prototypes. Details regarding the specific ground-side issue have not yet been disclosed.

The recent progress at Starbase Pad 2 builds upon momentum established during the successful completion of the Ship 39 cryoproof campaign, where advancements in Starship V3’s propellant systems set the groundwork for these latest tests. These incremental developments, together with SpaceX’s continued operational milestones such as the Dragon capsule’s scheduled splashdown near San Diego, underscore the company’s expanding capabilities across both launch infrastructure and crewed missions.
