SpaceX tests all six engines for the first time on the Starship SN20 prototype

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in his Twitter said that for the first time all six engine prototype spaceship Starship SN20 tested ignition. Previously, a prototype SN20 individually held static firing tests for certain atmospheric and vacuum motors Raptor.

The Starship SN20 prototype is preparing for the first orbital flight, in which it is supposed to go into space. For this, it is equipped with three atmospheric engines and three for work in vacuum conditions. Successful ignition of all six engines on the prototype brings the moment of jumping into orbit closer.

Good static fire with all six engines!

At the same time, the company has not yet tested the prototype of the Super Heavy B4 accelerator. Without this upper stage with a dozen or more engines, spacewalk will be impossible. In the completed form, 29 "raptors" will be installed on the accelerator, but the number of engines on the Super Heavy B4 has not yet been reported.
