TSpaceX officially NEW Starship Launch Window after OLM Adapter Completed...
This is insane!
SpaceX is clearly racing to get Starship Flight 10 off the ground in less than three weeks.
Right now, all the prep work for Ship 37’s static fire test is about 90% complete. Workers have already installed the “stool” stand at OLM Pad A, the temporary SQD is now in its final stages of assembly.
And most importantly, Ship 37 itself just received a major update, one that could be critical for the upcoming test.
So, when exactly will the static fire test happen?
And what final steps are still needed before Starship Flight 10 can take to the skies?
Let’s break it down in today’s episode of Alpha Tech.

Right now, all eyes, hundreds of thousands of them, are locked on Starbase, where SpaceX is pushing harder and faster than ever before to make Flight 10 happen. But this isn’t just any launch, this one means everything. After four explosive failures in a row, Starship hasn’t just disappointed fans, but also key partners like NASA and the Department of Defense. This flight is their chance to turn it all around. If it goes well, the whole program could get back on track.
So, what exactly has SpaceX been doing lately to prepare for this critical mission?
On July 20th, SpaceX transported a forward flap into the Mega Bay 2. It had already been outfitted with heat shield tiles, clearly intended for Ship 37.
The very next day, another forward flap was spotted being brought inside, then lifted by a crane before the doors closed, so no one could see what happened after that.

But on July 21st, observers noticed that Ship 37 was still surrounded by a lot of scaffolding.
It’s possible that by the time you’re watching this video, they’ve already finished installing the flaps and are just waiting for a transport ring to be rolled into MB2.
Once that happens, we might finally witness Ship 37 rolling out to Pad A, ready to be lifted onto the giant “stool” that SpaceX has spent over a month modifying just for it.
So how’s the progress at OLM Pad A coming along? Let’s take a closer look.
On the morning of July 18th, SpaceX’s massive LR11000 crane arrived at Launch Pad A. Workers used specialized cables to secure all four corners of the giant Starship transport stand. Just 30 minutes later, they lifted it into the air and lowered it neatly into the center of the Orbital Launch Mount, which had been modified weeks earlier with welded I-beams to support this structure.
