🚀 SpaceX's Booster 9 has successfully completed its second static fire test, marking an important milestone towards the second integrated test flight. After undergoing a spin prime test and thorough inspection, the Super Heavy booster ignited its Raptor engines for a full-duration static fire of approximately 5 seconds. Although it is yet to be confirmed if all 33 engines were ignited, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has declared the static fire a success.

However, SpaceX still faces challenges, including obtaining approval from the Federal Aviation Authority and addressing ongoing lawsuits from environmental groups. Regardless, the possibility of witnessing a test flight in September is an exciting prospect!
