SpaceX has completed a wet dress rehearsal for its Starship rocket, bringing the company a step closer to the vehicle's first orbital test flight, according to Engadget.
A wet dress rehearsal involves fuelling the rocket fully and running through pre-launch procedures without actually lifting off. It is a standard final check intended to confirm that systems are functioning as expected before a live launch attempt.
According to Engadget, the rehearsal went smoothly, and the orbital flight test remains on track. No launch date has been confirmed in the available reporting.
Starship is SpaceX's fully reusable launch system, designed to carry crew and cargo to orbit, the Moon, and beyond. The vehicle has drawn wide attention as a centrepiece of NASA's Artemis lunar programme and SpaceX's own long-term goals.
