SpaceX is preparing to launch the largest rocket ever built for its fourth flight.
Significant work has been ongoing at the Gateway To Mars launch site in preparation for the next Starship launch.
Booster 11 underwent testing at the orbital pad, including the installation of new propellant hose equipment.
SpaceX purged the main quick disconnect lines to prevent contamination during propellant loading.
Booster 11 was transported to the launch site and lifted onto the orbital launch Mount for testing.
The booster underwent a static fire test successfully, with the tank farm venting and propellant loading.
Ship 29 had its heat shield tiles stripped off and reinstalled, with ongoing checks on the tiles.
Ship 30 was moved into Mega Bay 2 for engine installation, while ship 31 was lifted off the turntable.
Booster 14 was fully assembled, with the water-cooled flame bucket sections delivered for assembly.
SpaceX launched the Utel Sat 36D mission, replacing the aging 36B satellite, with booster 1076 successfully landing on the Drone ship.

A set of styling satellites was scheduled to launch from the West Coast in Vandenberg on the same day, but the launch was scrubbed due to poor weather conditions.
Despite the scrubbed launch, the Styling Group 718 Mission successfully took off on Monday evening, providing a stunning view as the sun had just set.
Booster 1071 was on its 15th flight during this mission, creating a remarkable contrast with the darkening sky and the sunlit exhaust plume.
The mission showcased impressive ground shots captured by Dylan, highlighting the beauty of the launch against the darkening sky.
The mission also featured a spectacular view of stage separation, with the startup exhaust interacting with photons, illuminating the stylings inside.
SpaceX's launch capabilities are nearing their limit due to the limited number of drone ships available, with only one remaining for future missions requiring them.
