At the start of this thread (#10) Starship SN3 had moved to the launch site and was preparing for the testing phase. The next Starship vehicles will perform Raptor static fires and short hops around 150 meters altitude. A Starship test article is expected to make a 20 km hop in the coming months, and Elon aspires to an orbital flight of a Starship with full reuse by the end of 2020. SpaceX continues to focus heavily on development of its Starship production line in Boca Chica, TX.

Overview

STATUS (accurate within a few days):
Starship, serial number 1 (SN1) began its testing campaign at SpaceX's Starship facility in Boca Chica, Texas, working toward Raptor integration and static fire. Its tank section was destroyed during pressurized cryogenic testing late on February 28, local time. Construction of SN2 had already begun and it was converted to a test tank which was successfully pressure tested with a simulated thrust load. Later builds are expected in quick succession and with aggressive design itteration. A Starship test article is expected to make a 20 km hop in the coming months, and Elon aspires to an orbital flight of a Starship with full reuse by the end of 2020.
Over the past few months the facilities at Boca Chica have seen substantial improvements including several large fabric buildings and a "high Bay" for stacking and welding hull sections. Raptor development and testing continue to occur at Hawthorne and on three test stands at McGregor, TX. Future Starship production and testing may occur at Roberts Road, LC-39A, SpaceX's landing complex at Cape Canaveral, Berth 240 at the Port of LA, and other locations.

Overview

Starship development is currently concentrated at SpaceX's Starship Assembly Site in Boca Chica, Texas, where preparations for the first Starship Version 1 build (SN1) are underway. Elon hopes this article will fly in the spring of 2020. The Texas site has been undergoing a pivot toward the new flight design which will, in part, utilize a semi clean room welding environment and improved bulkhead manufacturing techniques. Starship construction in Florida is on hold and many materials, components and equipment there have been moved to Texas.
Currently under construction at Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A are a dedicated Starship launch platform and landing pad. Starhopper's Texas launch site was modified to handle Starship Mk.1 and a larger Superheavy capable mount is expected to be built on the previously undeveloped east side of the property. At SpaceX's McGregor Texas site where Raptor is tested there are three operational test stands, and a fourth is reportedly planned for SpaceX's Cape Canaveral landing complex. Elon mentioned that Raptor SN20 was being built near the end of January.

Overview

Starship development is currently concentrated at SpaceX's Starship Assembly Site in Texas. Until mid November, the Starship development teams had been focusing on finishing the Mark 1 and 2 vehicles which were expected to make suborbital test flights. The Mark 1 testing campaign ended on November 20 with a catastrophic failure of the methane tank during pressurized testing. In a statement from SpaceX after the incident it was announced that the decision had already been made not to fly these vehicles, and that development will now focus on the orbital Mark 3 design. Starship development in Florida has been put on hold and it is unclear what will become of Mark 2.
Launch mounts for the Starship prototypes are in the works. Starhopper's Texas launch site was modified to handle Starship Mk.1, and at Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A, a dedicated Starship launch platform and landing pad are under construction. SpaceX has not recently indicated what sort of flight test schedule to expect for Mark 3.
Starship is powered by SpaceX's Raptor, a full flow staged combustion cycle methane/oxygen rocket engine. Sub-scale Raptor test firing began in 2016, and full-scale test firing began early 2019 at McGregor, Texas, where there are two operational test stands, and a third is under construction. Eventually, Starship will have three sea level Raptors and three vacuum Raptors. Super Heavy may initially use around 20 Raptors, and operational versions could have around 31 to 37 sea level Raptors.

Overview

SpaceX is developing Starship at their Starship Assembly Site in Texas, and also at their facilities in Cocoa, Florida. The teams at the two locations are in competition with each other, but are also required to share insights learned along the way. Following Starhopper, the first two Starship prototypes, Mark 1 and Mark 2, are nearing completion. These vehicles will have aerodynamic control surfaces and three engines each, and are expected to make suborbital test flights. Ring sections believed to be for a Starship Mark 4 prototype are being built in Cocoa, and both sites will be iterating through successive versions of Starship and Super Heavy as quickly as possible.
Launch mounts for both Starship prototypes are in the works. Starhopper's Texas launch site is being modified to handle Starship, and at Kennedy Space Center's LC-39A, a dedicated Starship launch platform is under construction. Flight tests could begin late in 2019.
Starship is powered by SpaceX's Raptor, a full flow staged combustion cycle methane/oxygen rocket engine. Sub-scale Raptor test firing began in 2016, and full-scale test firing began early 2019 at McGregor, Texas, where it is ongoing. Eventually, Starship will have three sea level Raptors and three vacuum Raptors. Super Heavy may initially use around 20 Raptors, and operational versions could have around 31 to 37 sea level Raptors.

Rules

We may keep this self-post occasionally updated with links and relevant news articles, but for the most part, we expect the community to supply the information. This is a great place to discuss the launch, ask mission-specific questions, and track the progress of the test Campaign. Campaign threads are not launch threads. Normal subreddit rules still apply.

Edit 3/18: I was super busy today and had zero chance to make any updates. I’ll get caught up tomorrow. Sorry all!
Edit 3/20: I’ll finally have time to start tracking the news again today.
  • The big news locally is we had a 2nd and 3rd (confirmed) case locally: a Northrup Grumman employee and a state government employee in Cocoa.
  • Beaches are open but beach parking is not. As of yesterday, county and Mel Beach parking was closed but Indialantic was not; I expect them all to be closed as of today. Cape Canaveral National Seashore is closed. Sebastian Inlet, as a State Park, may still be open with reduced hours. Jetty Park is closed. Cocoa Beach issued a temporary ban on drinking alcohol on the beach
  • Florida COVID-19 tracking map (thanks whiteshadow255): https://fdoh.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/8d0de33f260d444c852a615dc7837c86
  • Nationwide fever tracking chart: https://health weather.us/ (no bueno for FL)
  • The Brevard Zoo is closed until March 30
  • Dental offices are all closed for the next 3 weeks (no source... I just overheard a hygienist talking yesterday)
  • Publix has dedicated 7-8AM on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings as senior citizen shopping only, 65 and over only. It’s to ensure they can shop when the store is as clean as possible after overnight sanitization and to be sure they aren’t in as crowded of a store.
  • I’m sure I missed some. I’m going to be going through what everyone has been posting the past few days looking for anything important.
  • There will be an AMA with a Miami police officer about the coronavirus response on /Miami today at 10AM noon. I got permission from their mods to crosspost it here so keep an eye out for that
Sources are below in this thread and in other posts here on /321. I’ll start including them again going forward. Please continue to send in the tips, and thank you all for helping to keep us up to date!
 
Edit 3/20: Brevard County facilities will start closing today to the public at noon (thanks YouGotRealUgly!): https://sites.brevardcounty.us/PIRA/PIRA/ViewRelease.aspx?ID=3800
Edit 3/20: Gov DeSantis suspends all dine in service, ordering restaurants to switch entirely to take out and delivery (thanks denisesaysaloha!): https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-20-20-intl-hnk/index.html This Executive Order also closes all gyms and fitness centers.
Edit 3/21: Brevard has a 4th confirmed case now (thanks jordanManfrey!) https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/03/20/coronavirus-woman-talks-testing-positive/288202500
As the number of infections grows locally, it’s going to become unwieldy to keep posting a new article every time is happens. I’m going to keep a running statistic at the top of this post from here on out. Please keep the data coming in though!
Edit 3/23: state parks are all closed now (thanks Str0ber!): https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2020/03/23/florida-coronavirus-state-parks-now-closed-indefinitely-response-covid-19-direction-gov-desantis/2896823001/
Edit 3/26: it’s been a few days since I added a text update. The only real local news has been increasing numbers which I’m tracking above. Around Florida, Miami and Orlando are under lockdown orders. Brevard County leadership is meeting tomorrow (Friday) morning to discuss something. Disney and Universal are under the Orlando/Orange County lockdown so don’t expect them to open until April 12.

Edit 3/26: All beaches are closed from 11AM-4PM Friday through Sunday. The situation will be re-evaluated early next week. This is developing so no links yet...source: https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/local/2020/03/26/brevards-policy-group-issues-recommendations-beach-closings/2919545001/ Edit 3/26: the county decided to keep the beaches Open all weekend after all: https://sites.brevardcounty.us/PIRA/PIRA/ViewRelease.aspx?ID=3811
Edit 3/26: Beaches will remain open outside of Cocoa Beach: https://sites.brevardcounty.us/PIRA/PIRA/ViewRelease.aspx?ID=3811
Edit 3/27: the state gov is setting up border checkpoints on highways into the state, probably alongside the existing agriculture checks that trucks already have to stop starting. It’s going to be a traffic mess. The CA all vehicle checks are bad enough and they have the infrastructure for it. At least we’re not getting those bullsshit inland border checkpoints. https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2020/03/28/florida-coronavirus-updates-march-28-total-covid-19-cases-top-3-000/2932343001/?utm_source=floridatoday-Coronavirus%20Watch&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=baseline_greeting&utm_term=list_article_thumb
Edit 3/30: there are likely way more people infected here than the numbers reflect due to lack of testing. Thanks bail-y for the article! https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/2020/03/30/covid-19-cases-official-count-brevard-florida/2927747001/
