SpaceX has successfully completed a "Wet Dress Rehearsal" for the Starship Flight 12 mission at Pad 2 of the Starbase spaceport. This process is the final comprehensive pre-flight test of the rocket and ground systems, including fueling and the countdown procedure. This is reported by Ixbt.com .
The test involved a fully assembled version of the new generation rocket, specifically the Booster 19 accelerator and the Ship 39 spacecraft. The first attempt on May 10 was aborted due to technical reasons, but this time SpaceX engineers successfully completed all stages.
The company fueled the rocket in a record time of just 30 minutes and performed all procedures up to the T-0 stage without igniting the engines. After the test, the fuel was drained and the roads around Starbase were reopened.
Previously, SpaceX successfully tested all 33 Super Heavy engines. According to current plans, the Starship Flight 12 launch will not take place earlier than May 15.
