Bab 635: Chapter 620: The Fourth Cycle

Gulf of Mexico, Boca Chica.

The Starship Spacecraft SN25 combined with Super Heavy Booster B20 stood on the launch pad, it was the fourth Starship prepared for the full-stack launch test.

According to the latest naming standards issued by SpaceX, the complete system will be named as SS (StarShip) + number, so this one should be called SS-4.

The first SS-1 launch date was May 28, and in the span of 7 months, SpaceX launched four combinations at the most insane speed, yet such astonishing efficiency was not at its limit.

Including the first-stage SL-X rocket delivered to NACA, they produced a total of 301 Raptor V1 engines this year, averaging a Raptor engine coming off the assembly line every 29 hours.

All of this, apart from Musk's bold slogan "one Starship a month," was more importantly due to the covert technical support and large number of orders from NACA since last year, with the Starship Town manufacturing Starships about to complete its second major upgrade.
