AXM Starbase

Hello ! My main account is @Starship_20 ! So, this account is similar to what @ministarbase is doing but using @Axm61 models! Right now the current plan is to start out with static fires and followed by flight testing. Idk how long until things get going but I hope you enjoy

Lots of work being done on the pad including deluge testing

Old Friends and New Beginnings

B8 after 2 flights, proving rapid re use will work for the version of booster. Next up is boosters 9 and 10 which we’ll try to launch from pads a and b in September.

A tough loss

Re flying shortly, testing rapid re use

At the pad, almost ready

IFT-2 at Hopper Ridge is happening tomorrow, both vehicles are almost ready. The goal is to successfully stage and recovery both vehicles.

Sn3 won’t be a disappointment

Don’t think it been said before but IFT-2 is this Saturday. Here’s sn3 being destacked from b8 following fit tests. Both vehicles will look different and receive a lot more hardware ahead of flight. Another stacking photo will be posted in a couple days.

Iterative Development

Hsr failed miserably in 2 ways, didn’t stage the vehicle and broke in half. Hot staging will become a thing of the past as we move to flip staging. B6 will be constructed sometime this week for stage testing. Sn3 will no longer fly and will be used for stage testing instead.

Post Flight Sun Down

Video of flight 1, yes the stack was not stable

Flight completed, the stack did not successfully hot stage

Everything is still go for flight at around T-1 hour. This is the official mission patch. Huge thanks to @supersonicflipz for designing it!

Sundown ahead of IFT-1. Updates will return at around T-1 hours

T-16 hours ish (don’t have an exact time) both vehicles are almost ready for flight tomorrow. GO B7 and SN1!
