Ship 20 Successfully Completes Cryo Proof Test | SpaceX Boca Chica

Ship 20 completed its first major test before the Orbital Test Flight when its tanks were loaded with cryogenic liquid nitrogen, pressurized to near flight pressures, and hydraulic rams simulated Raptor engine thrust. Having passed the “proofing“ test, SpaceX will likely install Raptor engines for a static fire test next. Video and Pictures from Mary (@BocaChicaGal) and the NSF Robots. Edited by Nathan Shields.
