Here we provide you with exciting news and background information on upcoming space events and space happenings. Today we report on the engine test of the Booster 7 Static Fire #3 on Wednesday, August 31st, 2022. Read all the details about the Booster 7 Static Fire #3 mission in this article.
Space events are usually processes that do not belong to the usual rocket launches. “Space events” not only report on engine tests or space walks, but also on landings of spacecraft, flybys and other maneuvers that take place outside the earth and are controlled by various space programs.
Overview of Booster 7 Static Fire #3
SpaceX performed a static fire of Booster 7 lasting about 6 seconds.

What is the goal of the Orbital Flight Test Mission?
Maiden flight of the Starship two-stage launch vehicle. The launch vehicle will separate 170 seconds after launch and land about 32 km off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. The second stage will reach orbit before making a targeted water landing approximately 100 km off the northwest coast of Kauai, Hawaii.
Where does the Orbital Flight Test Mission take place?
The mission takes place in the low earth orbit. This is located at an altitude of 200 to 2,000 kilometers. LEO rides are the lowest energy and easiest to get to. Spacecraft need about 100 minutes to orbit the earth and can move at about 7 km/s. The radio contact to a ground station is a maximum of 15 minutes per round trip. Low Earth orbit is primarily used for manned spaceflight, but also for spy satellites, astronomical satellites, as well as Earth exploration and weather satellites, amateur radio satellites, global communications systems, and research and technology testing satellites.
Space programs and organizations involved in Booster 7 Static Fire #3
SPACEX STARSHIP: The SpaceX Starship is a fully reusable super-heavy-lift launch vehicle in development by SpaceX since 2012 as a self-funded private space project. The second stage of the Starship is designed as a long-term cargo and passenger spacecraft. It is expected to initially operate without any carrier stage as part of an extensive development program to test takeoff and landing and improve a number of design details, particularly with regard to atmosphere reentry.
