Just after two weeks, SpaceX completed repair to the 230-feet Super Heavy Booster 7's seemingly irreparable issue!
Well, what went wrong with B7???
How did SpaceX fix it?
Will B7 be able to fly?
All this and more in today's episode of Great SpaceX!

Super Heavy Booster 7 (B7) left the High Bay it was assembled in for the first time on March 31st and rolled a few miles down the road to nearby Starship launch and test facilities on a set of self-propelled mobile transporters (SPMTs).
On April 2nd, the roughly 230 feet rocket was installed on top of Starbase’s lone orbital launch mount (OLM), setting the stage for crucial qualification testing.
The start of that process was exceptionally successful.
After minor tests on the stand, Booster 7 finally managed some significant testing on April 14th. Judging by the rhythmic shattering of ice that built up on Super Heavy’s tanks, the test stand was able to simulate the thrust of Raptors to some degree and subject the booster to major mechanical stress that was felt from tip to tail.
Within a few days, Booster 7 was removed from the test stand and returned to the high bay on April 18th.

To be resolved, thank you.

To be reusable, it has to be maintainable. Finding out what can fail and if it is fixable, is a good thing to know.

Excellent work by the engineering team without crying or such. Real performance and quality of progress indeed. Not everything goes to plan we could all agree.

anyone at spacex deserves a place in history. Unbelievable and deducation to the projects. A true inspiration for me! keep it going folks!

Kevin, this was one of the better SpaceX report I've seen done. full of good information; inspiring. I just hope NASA isn't stalling SpaceX because they want SLS to be first. Occam's Razor, simplest explanation... there are a lot of 'fiefdoms' in federal agencies.. keep that in mind, it's always been that way. Peace out, y'all

[GatchamanG]

I hope the new one holds up. Go SpaceX!

Congrats to SpaceX for repairing it. I wonder if they just pressurized the damaged downcomer in place and repaired the mount points/seals? @4:26 actually a vacuum forming is the least likely/plausible in a high pressure system like this. The plausible cause is a relatively low pressure in the downcomer compared to the oxygen tank. ie 60PSI in the oxygen tank and 55PSI in the methane downcomer. I suspect that during detanking they didn't pump in replacement gas at the same rate they were extracting liquid methane. That lowered pressure in the downcomer relative to the oxygen tank. The downcomer isn't designed to support external pressure. It has those flimsy unbraced rings but those are probably only good for 1-3PSI. So it crushed. The damage was mostly to the support rings, the tank ends, and the seals, than to the downcomer itself. Replacing the downcomer would require spectacular surgery of the tanks and hull... so I bet they just inflated it back into shape and repaired the ends. Even if they don't fly it, it was good knowledge to gain re: whether this could be fixed in the field in a pinch.

I love how SpaceX live testing breaking fixing and reprogramming satisfies the needs of astronauts hearts that everything has been done to safeguard their safety with test after test in the open so we can see what is not hidden, that is success…😉👍🚀

Definitely cannot say the same thing for SLS I wouldn’t put a mouse in that 🚀

[mochasw.]

Very informative content! Much appreciated!!!

After Space X started ramping up their area at Kennedy space center instead of Stare Base Texas to launch their Starship someone high up had a change of heart. Suspicious!

[Cruderacing]

I, like many others, am so grateful that I am alive at this time to watch such magnificence.

just imagine the amount of threes to be cut, for the approval paperwork to be submitted to the FAA for the environmental impact of launching one Nuke?

A self-propelled MODULAR transporter or sometimes self-propelled modular trailer (SPMT) is a platform heavy hauler with a large array of wheels which is an upgraded version of a hydraulic modular trailer. transporter or sometimes self-propelled modular trailer (SPMT) is a platform heavy hauler with a large array of wheels which is an upgraded version of a hydraulic modular trailer.

See how fast you can repair something when you're an honest company. The others would have taken decades to fix it.

[robertlescinski]

Excellent content, liked the timeline, concise, balanced, short. Sets the bar for future productions.

[jorgemonserrate]

Exactly same thing happened with the three grafts they put on my heart but caused by the veins used not being strong enough to support increased flow, not a closed valves.

YESSSS WE’RE FINALLY USING OUR BRAINS, THANK GOD FOR ELON

[BurdenofTheMighty]

What? No way. Maybe people are onto something with this whole robot thing.

[steve]

I think the straw analogy is very apt, because it order to fix this you just repressurize it, to blow it back to it's original shape and then test for leaks.
